Breaking the K-12 Crust: The Realities of Digital Libraries for Education
Building digital libraries for K-12 education is not a simple matter of great content. The K-12 environment has special needs for the content it uses in the classroom. From conformance to state performance standards, to linkage to lesson plans, the K-12 classroom sometimes can seem like a fortress with high walls, preventing libraries and museums from entering. This presentation will explore the realities and successful strategies for breaking into formal K-12 education. This presentation will seek to answer the question of why great content is not enough.
