The program has been modified by various libraries (including school libraries) to train staff in technology in small bites. I like the fact that it's there to reinforce what we learn in class, should we get a bit "rusty". (Funny, our syllabus seems to echo 23 Things...)

Lack of funding is usually the obvious obstacle we think about with technological changes and information literacy, however, as you've indicated-- staff support (especially from the librarian) is equally important, as is an open mind-set to explore the possibilities!

If we want children to develop good study habits, they need to have access to good resources at their school library for starters. Anyone that can't see that is nuts, and I salute you for your interest in keeping up with the technologies that our children are going to be using. You have to speak their language to get their trust, and when you have their trust, you'll be able to help steer them the right way.
