"K-12 School library Media Specialists to learn a little more about web tools that can be used to improve and enhance school library media programs and services, to see examples of how they can be used, and to share success stories and creative ideas about how to use and integrate them."The philosophy of the website is that, just as we learn how to hold a pencil to form letters, use scissors to cut out shapes and use a ruler to measure using 'old' tools, so must we learn to use the 'new' tools of the digital age.
It contains links to a multitude of websites across the web which can be used as tools in the classroom. One such helpful resource is YouTube AudioSwap - where artists have agreed to the use of their music on videos with attribution. "You get a cool soundtrack, the artists get attribution on your video, and everyone wins!"
The true value for me in this website is it's 'ideas' pages, which give practical applications for web2.0 tools, such as using Podcasting to create an audio tour, and using online drawing and mapping tools to graph data collected as part of a project.
