My comment was: (can take 24 hours for it to be posted)
From what I read in this article many of the concerns with teachers and students
needing help to use the available technology and information resources would have
EASILY been handled by a full-time Teacher-Librarian on that campus. Which
Microsoft deemed unnecessary in the development and implementation of this school
of the future. The consequences are just as reported; people are not receiving the
one-on-one help and support they need to achieve the desired levels of competency
in information literacy skills. This is proof positive that the results of the
library surveys conducted around the country are correct! Teacher-Librarians are
extremely important to the learning environment. www.lrs.org<http://www.lrs.org/>
