= = =**Welcome to our 21st Century Information Literacy** Wiki= //"This is not the information age. It's the learning age." - Sir Ken Robinson//

Oct. 15, 2009: If you really want to know how school libraries are changing, read this blog post from one of the best school media specialists in the business, Joyce Valenza: http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1340000334/post/1530049753.html

This wikispace is for Lee County media specialists to learn, share resources, and discuss 21st century information literacy (digital, technological, visual and textual literacies). The 2009 Media cadres will use this wiki as their platform for collaboration while learning new skills, designing units and lessons that support the District goals of Essential Concept Planning and Perfect Practice, and creating a training agenda for August 2009 preschool in-service. We will continue to use it as a collaboration tool with all media specialists during the 2009-2010 school year.

This wiki is for sharing and collaboration, for learning and playing. All members have permissions to edit the content by adding, deleting, or modifying documents and pages and are encouraged to do so. All members are asked to contribute to discussions and reflect on their learning by posting questions and comments using the discussion board.

=Getting Started= 1. Explore the wiki. The navigation bar to the left has links to each page. The tabs at the top take you to the discussion board and notifications (you can change settings to be notified by email whenever someone changes content on the wiki). Click on each one and see what's there. 2. To add to or delete from a page, click the edit tab at the top of the page. Make your changes (the **Editor bar** appears so you can format text, add images,etc. almost like a WORD doc). Be sure to SAVE your changes. Preview changes first to be sure you haven't deleted something that should remain.
