In the article “Not your Grandmother’s Library”, Lisa Perez focuses on the importance of technology in education, specifically in libraries.
Perez talks about librarians obtaining the proficiency in technology in order to be able to assist students who need help with the use of today’s modern libraries.
Perez also mentions several organizations that promote the use of technology as a means to improve learning. Organizations, such as SIGMS provide students with many opportunities for to engage in different activities.
Also, teachers and librarians help students get involved in active online learning, such is the case of librarian Chad Lehman who taught his students how to import digital photos.
Once again, technology plays a key role in education. It is great to have Organizations, schools and teachers that help students benefit from the use of technology.
Schools will have to stop having a "computer class" in the future since every aspect of the school is engaging in some form of technology upgrade. You have to be able to use computers as soon as you walk into to a library, no card catalogs anymore, most have self check out systems, and you can hold books, and get email reminders when books are due. Grandma may be a little confused when she walks into today’s library.
