TV on a Dime: Creating a Library TV Studio (AASL)<http://www.ala.org/aasl/ecollab/tvstudio>
LiveWebinarFree!
Wednesday, April 6 | 6:00 p.m. Central - The school library should already be a center for information, for technology and for creation in a school. Those aspects uniquely position the library program to create an ad hoc television studio. Because many schools and districts don't have the money to invest in a state-of-the art studio, this webinar will focus on how to create a functional studio on a tight budget.

Creating Digital Portfolios Using Google Sites (AASL)<http://www.ala.org/aasl/ecollab/google-portfolios>
LiveWebinarFree!
Wednesday, April 20 | 6:00 p.m. Central - We are asking students to become 21st century learners through inquiry and creation.
