NETS 2a,c; 3a-d; 4a,d; 5a,b

One thing about our librarian is that she was always willing to help point you in the direction where you needed help. She was always going on when I would stop in to pick something up or to ask her a question about the different tools that the library offered, even the new tools that had not quite arrived. POWER library and ACCESS Pennsylvania were the two biggest ones that she always talked about. She even went over how the ACCESS Pennsylvania book-borrowing from other school districts worked. That would be extremely helpful for a research project - if the student does not wait until the very last minute. She also went over the videoconferencing tool that the libary got through the literacy grant that will not only link us -- LIVE -- to other school districts, but to any other place that uses the same sort of technology. She also told me about how she teaches to the eighth graders about verifying internet sources and making sure that the information that the student is finding is correct. Anybody can put together a website and put any kind of information on it - so before they used it they had to make sure it was accurate.
