OMG!! You’re a K-12 library media specialist! In this age of the participatory, “content creationary,” interactive, 2.0 Internet and all that it offers educators and students! And in the ongoing era of NCLB mandates, shrinking budgets, mushrooming lists of curriculum standards … not to mention all the new literacies—from information, to visual, to technology, to online social literacy—to teach to your students. So many tools and techniques to know! So many requirements to meet! How can you keep up?

We suggest you join us at Internet@Schools West! where you can network face-to-face with presenters and attendees addressing these same challenges, even while you blog, twitter, or text with colleagues far afield. We’ll have another information-packed 2-day event for you in Monterey, with an opening keynote plus tracks and sessions on the latest school library information and technology trends, tools, and issues. You’ll be well served and stoked with ideas to take back to your school and media center.

Internet@Schools West, sponsored by MultiMedia & Internet@Schools magazine, will be held in Monterey, CA on Monday and Tuesday, October 20-21, 2008. in conjunction with Internet Librarian 2008, so attendees can participate in the co-located Internet Librarian conference at a reduced rate and take maximum advantage of the Internet Librarian Exhibit Hall. Join us!
