welcome to the 2007 Kansas Summer Institute for School Librarians

The 2007 institute theme is "Digital Literacy: The School Library Media Program and Learning in an Information Rich World http://slim.emporia.edu/programs/summerinst.htm.

This event will be held on June 13-14, 2007 at The Jones Conference Center for Educational Excellence at Emporia State University, Emporia, KS USA http://www.emporia.edu/.

This institute is comprised of two parts: best practices in school library media programming (day one); and new ideas for promoting literacy reading and writing (day two, The Mike Printz Writers Workshop).

I invite you to use this blog to share
1) new ideas about how to provide practical and effective ways to go beyond finding information on the Internet to using information in effective ways in instructional programming;
2) new ideas for promoting literacy reading and writing; and
3) highlights of the institute.
