Description

Not long ago Teacher Librarian had an article from a noted cybersecurity expert regarding the hazards of using the Internet and its tentacles ("Seeking a Balance" Online Safety for Our Children" by Barbara Endicott-Popovsky, December, 2009). This article went into techniques about having a "symbiotic relationship" between the Internet and the classroom. There were sobering statistics in this article; ones that cause you to pause and think about the issue of having students do online research at school. The bibliography was extremely helpful to teachers and school librarians. More recently (August 2010) it was announced that one of the browsers commonly used by students sets up a personal profile information for each person using it for "shopping" concerns--whether one is shopping or not at that time. So much is being written about how to effectively use technology, including Internet access, in K-12 education. Just recently (www.mercedsunstar.com/2010/07/27/1508350/le-grand-teacher- bridging-agriculture.html) a LeGrand, California teacher was recognized and awarded by Google for marrying the subject of agriculture with technology in his school. He and other educators are effectively integrating various social network tools and electronic information sources into their work while advancing learning in their areas. Students are using various electronic technologies to visit and talk with other students from around the world; blogging has become a pervasive avenue for professional development as well as global education connections. The economics of information have dramatically changed--more library research is being conducted in the United States than ever before, but it is being done with less and less hard copy print materials accessed only through a brick-and-mortar library. Digital literacy is not a luxury. It is vital for all students today.
