This wiki was created for school library media specialists by Dr. Donna Baumbach and Dr. Judy Lee, University of Central Florida. The purpose is to provide information about some of the new web-based tools (Web 2.0) and how they can be used and are being used by school library media specialists and their students and teachers. Much of the information--including identifying a need for this kind of information--is the result of a survey conducted in 2008 of over 600 school library media specialists about their knowledge and use of web-based tools in library media programs.

Year 7 at St Joseph's Mundingburra created digital mosaics as an affective response to a group reading and discussion of Colin Thompson's "Dust," an Honour Book in the Picture Book category in this year's CBCA Book of the Year awards. The mosaics attempted to express the book's themes of starvation, isolation, loneliness, global responsibility, immediacy, caring, love and hope. The mosaics have been created through mashing bighugelabs with flickr images

They plan to take 400 trekkers to Antarctica during this four months each year. The Australian government has requested that an Environmental Impact Team explore the impact of this tourism proposal on the animals and natural environment of Antarctica.
