Thing 15: Library Futures

I've read several things by author Michael Stephens and listened to my boss talk about one of the conferences she went to where he spoke.  I found his article very poignant.  He points out that librarians in this day and age need to focus on being technologically adept and fast-thinking.  I think these are incredibly important. 

Today's learners are digital natives and seem to almost require technology in their learning experiences.  By being able to incorporate the technology and present it in an interesting way, students are more likely to enjoy their learning experience and take more information away from it.  Librarians are the forerunners in getting teachers to incorporate that technology into their lesson plans.  Collaboration and co-teaching are great ways to help them do this.
