Waiting for Normal – Keeping up with Change as a Media Specialist

Over 70 DuPage county media specialists gathered on April 19th for a day of sharing, networking, and collaboration. The Center for Professional Learning in Lombard was the location for this event. 21st century learning was the focus with sessions ranging from Web 2.0 tools, technology infused literacy ideas to SMART boards and Google Literature trips.

 

Feedback from the event included comments such as, “Great information…I can use immediately!” “Content presented by people “in the trenches”; topics very interesting and practical; all sessions were very well done and well planned!”

“Best features – new technology and how it can be used directly with students.”

Throughout the day, K-12 media specialists and librarians shared ideas and worked on lessons designed to provide students with communication and research tools they need to succeed in school and the workplace.
