At last, a school library

Julie Walker, Executive Director, American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and Board member, Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21).



The school chosen for our visit in Denmark is built around the school library --- which the Danes called a "pedagogical center." I again saw the "community" that I had seen (and felt) in Finland. Students --- who stay with one teacher/mentor from grade one through grade 9 --- move freely about the building thus allowing them maximum access to the "pedagogical center." ICT use is a step beyond "office applications" and focuses on accessing and using information --- a step below complete infusion.
