Prezi iPads in the Classroom: Apps Librarians, Teachers & Students Love School librarians and teachers wear many hats at one time. Besides managing their space/classrooms, they also organize activities, reach out to the school community and enhance the feel of the library, making it a timeless treasure that welcomes students to read, learn and explore the power of media. iPads in the Classroom can help add some flash to learning tools that get kids hooked on learning & library resources.

10 Great Technology Initiatives for Your Library Today’s hottest web and mobile technologies are offering libraries a new world of opportunities to engage patrons. Ultra-popular social media websites and apps combined with the availability of affordable cloud-based services and the evolution and adoption of mobile devices are enabling librarians to share and build communities, store and analyze large collections of data, create digital collections, and access information and services in ways never thought about before. Libraries have become technology leaders by integrating cutting-edge tools to enhance users’ experience. It’s not enough to redesign the library website. Best practices mean developing user personas and following usability strategies to produce user-informed designs. New digital collections are stored in the cloud and mobile applications are developed around them.

Of course I start my day with a cup of coffee, my google reader and a personalized web curation app.
