Tech Tidbits from the Guybrarian: Where do you get your ideas? - by Phil Goerner | School Library Journal

Tech Tidbits from the Guybrarian: Where do you get your ideas? - by Phil Goerner | School Library Journal | The Information Professional | Scoop.it

"I’m not really that smart. I just know people who are. One of the wisest things that we librarians can do is to collaborate with other smart librarians who love to share. For example, I have a strong personal learning network (PLN) that starts on Twitter and even includes a monthly face-to-face gathering. My PLN provides me with lots of really good ideas, answers questions, and supports my work. It is through these resources that I have gathered a huge technology toolbox, assessment strategies, promotional ideas, and a ton of worthwhile resources that I can pass on to my teachers."
