I'm interested in hearing about your personal successes and failures with using School Library 2.0 technologies with your students, faculty, and parents particularly at the elementary level. What are your biggest concerns and obstacles? What is your goal? For example, Uses: I am using a wiki as we tackle our SACS re-accreditation. I have used FLICKR with my annual committee as we sort through things in a private mode. I have taught teachers who are doing additional coursework how to use RSS feeds to stay current. I've seen Knox County schools in Tennessee produce podcasts with technology help. We are beginning a blog to keep current information on top for parents in an easier manner than our web page. I have blogged and stayed current with other's blogs via bloglines. We will air our VSBA book discussion blog in November while we ramp up to discuss the books on our state award list. The asst. principal and I are exploring how we can create dynamic newsletters similar to Grandview Elementary schools http://www.grandviewlibrary.org/Fold/GrandviewNews.aspx Concerns: safety, time, buy-in, equipment. Obstacles: administrative blocks at the district level, time for targeted training, lack of vision and purpose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Diane R.
