David Warlick

Warlick acknowledges in his introduction that since his first edition published just in 2004, much has changed and developed in the world of information technology. So, while many of the same messages of the original still grace these pages, new examples, ideas, and trends are noted. This is an extremely important book for every teacher librarian to read and think about. What are the expanding ideas about literacy beyond skilled reading and writing? And, how are new technologies foundational show more in the demands of the flat world that requires new skills to compete successfully on a global stage? What actions can teacher librarians and teacher technologists in addition to other school leaders take to insure that kids are growing up in a changed literacy environment? Even if you have read the previous edition, put this on your professional learning community’s list. Named as one of the best professional books of 2008 by Teacher Librarian. show less
