The Unquiet Librarian. Valibrarian - BYOT (bring your own technology) Aug 16 2011 There’s a new slogan rapidly spreading through my school district, as well as other districts across the country: BYOT (bring your own technology). Many of us have been hoping for a more innovative and open philosophy for over five years.
We all know the world has changed and we all know that information access is not only at an all time high…we are drowning it it. The books and articles of interest to me of late, however, give rise to caution when it comes to integrating the latest high-tech gadget into our schools. In fact, Kristin Fontichiaro (professor at the University of Michigan) shared with us this week some excellent examples of how online Web 2.0 technology tools are sometimes full of bling and pizzazz without any meaningful content at all! Librarians have been trained in aquisition and evaluation of high quality resources, both physical and digital. It seems an emphasis on the latest tool is often stressed today more than the content or information delivered. 1. 2. LISTSERV 16.0 - LM_NET Archives. Discover Yourself! Webfilter Violation.
