11.5 Things-Thing 1

I like this idea! This is education as it should be---student driven. The teacher/librarian is the facilitator and the student decides which direction to take.
In this scenario, it is very important that the student know how to effectively use technology. The student needs to know how to search for information, how to compile the information and how best to present the information. This involves a lot of technical expertise on the part of the teacher/librarian so that the student can be guided in the right direction. That is why programs (like 11.5 Things) to educate educators are very important, because this is definitely the direction that the world is going now.
