Exploratorium

New York City School Library Services Spring Conference: An Exploratorium. This event, with over 350 attendees (school librarians and teachers from all NYC boroughs), was a chance to look at students' work produced in libraries all over the city. It was set up "science-fair" style--with tabletop displays around the perimeter of a room. I presented the animoto book trailers that 4th and 5th graders have been producing. I also had a chance to walk around a get good ideas to bring back to PS 63/Neighborhood School. In addition, there were presentations from the librarians of New York Public, and a "petting zoo" of new technology including several e-readers, e.g., Kindles, iPads, Nooks, etc.
