Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for joining me. My goal is to show you my model for a blended virtual & bricks-and-mortar school library. I believe I have the best of both worlds - the daily smiles of students & an astonishingly deep and meaningful world to share with them.
The focus of the workshop is self reflection & application, so create a starting point for yourself by answering the questions before checking out the links to the examples. You may wish to jot down a few notes to add ideas to the ongoing discussions in the "comments" section.
I am inspired by my Coquitlam teacher-librarian friends, Leslie Ikeda, Susan Kilpatrick, Joanne Leblond and Anne Malo, who, through a genuine generosity of spirit, help anyone who walks through their library doors. My virtual library's open access policy reflects this. To me, transparency is advocacy.
In our world that is magically being transformed into a digital commons, we hold the keys to the kingdom. We are the access.
Sincerely, Judith Comfort
