Function Follows Form How Google Apps can transform 21st Century learning

Librarians as Leaders School librarians as leaders in professional development, accreditation review, and so much more
While schools are aggressively slashing budgets to make ends meet, many districts still feel compelled to spend on professional development programming and accreditation review. Therein lies an opportunity for school librarians to help districts reduce costs while increasing the library program's visibility. In this session, participants will discover new leadership opportunities for school librarians that will benefit all members of the learning community, faculty and administration included.
