Summer Employment

So it begins. It’s my first day on the job working for OCM BOCES School Library Systems and I must admit that I’m more excited than a kid on Christmas morning. I am going to spend the next six weeks investigating uses of handheld devices (read: the iPod Nano and iPod Touch & to a lesser extent, the Creative Zen) in school library settings. I’ve also been asked to investigate gaming in school libraries and purchase and create a curriculum document on the uses of a Nintendo Wii.
I have a bunch of ideas running around in my brain, but I’d like to use my personal blog as a way to extend the conversation. My goal over the next six weeks will be to investigate best practice when it comes to handhelds and gaming in school libraries and come up with original documentation and training for school librarians in my region…..and for all of my readers at School Libraryland.
