Re: TECH: Training

[Barbara Braxton <barbara@AUSTARMETRO.COM.AU>]

I agree with Mary Alice - professional development of staff is a key role for the 
teacher-librarian
because it is easier to teach 20+ (as in my school) than 450.  Teachers can then 
teach their
students.

Research continues to prove that the greatest factor influencing student use of the 
library is the
way their teacher uses it, so target the teachers.  If you have the expertise to 
teach the new
technology, then do so, but if you don't, make it your responsibility to arrange 
someone who can.
Offer the training at a couple of different times so you can catch the most people 
and allow time
for them to practise what they have learned there and then.
Good luck
Barbara
