Session description

Librarians play an essential role in bringing teaching and learning into the digital age. Today's librarians still help students with research and assist them in finding the perfect book or magazine, but they also show students how to use technology, help learners detect whether information is from a trustworthy source and facilitate schoolwide edtech training. Join expert Ashley Cooksey to learn how librarians can maximize student-centered learning opportunities and help districts leverage technology with a sneak peek into the ISTE U course Exploring Future Ready Librarianship: Practices for the Emerging Leader.
