Library Media Specialist
Welcome to the 2008-2009 School Year
8/30/08



It is hard to believe that just a year ago I joined the OPI Team as Library Media Curriculum Specialist.  It has been an incredibly rewarding year of professional connections and work.  The adoption of the NEW Information Literacy/Library Media and Technology Content Standards was a major accomplishment for the dedicated team of teachers and librarians who revised the standards.




A link for you to look at as we start a new school year:


Marc Prensky's Educational Leadership Article (March 2008) "Turning on the Lights"  http://tinyurl.com/2ysmpy


As you look at the new standards for Information Literacy/Library Media and Technology, consider how you can "Turn on the Lights" for your students as we approach the end of the first decade of the 21st Century.





Please be in touch.


Informationally yours,


Colet (rhymes with Olé)
