    Read the short blog post, follow some of the links, and most importantly, try to find 50 minutes to watch the Will Richardson video - from his ISTE presentation.

Teachers should be sending students to this place of inquiry, research, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. This belief should drive our library re-design and it's program.

Although much has been written on this topic and many have expressed concerns, little empirical data is available to describe what students are actually doing with their sources.
