Reading
Writing
- Create a page in your Design Notebook and label it “Libraries are so…” along with today’s date. When was the last time you visited a public library? Describe your experience. How did that library compare to the library described in chapter 1 of Tech Enhanced Public Libraries, Chapter 1?
- Create a second page in your Design Notebook, labelling it “What do books have to do with it” and today’s date. Discuss the depiction of the future of libraries in The Future of Libraries has Little to do with Books. What trends would you like to see implemented in your local library? Which wouldn’t be all that important to you?
- Here’s an example presentation to get your started.
- Be sure to share your Google Presentation and post a link to it as a comment to this blog post below.
