Using Technology in the School Library with Impact

With the COVID 19 pandemic, the past 18 months have focussed on delivering library services in a virtual world. It has given us cause to think more deeply about how we might use technology to more effect. But there is so much to choose from – how do we know in what we should invest our time and what might be just used as a one-off gimmick to gain attention? This course will consider how we can impact on our school community through the use of carefully chosen software and hardware within information literacy and reading for pleasure. We will also look at how technology can be used within physical and virtual libraries to encourage use outside the curriculum.
