read the 23 pages

OK Emily, that was a lot of information. Don't get me wrong, I think all this stuff is great but with all the information overload out there how does anyone stay up on all this? There were a couple of things I really liked...the idea that the kids could use Youtube to create videos at the library using library equipment...filming and posting karoke sessions. I really liked the part where the kids were helping the librarians with their my space and telling them how lame it was when the librarians did it. That sounds like reality. But this is day one of 46 so I guess I have a lot to learn. The last entry seemed the most useful. The flock thing. I hope we get to do that, it seems like it would make everything easier to keep up with. Carol

Carol, think of it the same way you order books for YA. You can't possibly be required to know and read every book that is available, but you read what other people have to say, and make choices and recommendations based on those. With new technologies, it's the same way. We can't expect you to know about everything, or to have mastered the usage of everything that is available. Instead, keep your eyes out for bloggers (and magazine articles!) that talk about new technologies. From those, you can pick out a few of the most interesting to play with.

Also, I didn't have Flock on my list of 23 things, but I would be happy to help you set it up if you would like to try it out.
