Meeting Kudos
Thank you for a wonderful meeting yesterday! I enjoyed listening to Kathy Parker from NCDPI share with us "21st Century Media Centers." I also loved hearing your discussions on how you can make changes in your own Media Centers.
Also, thanks for sharing with the group best practices, lesson plans, and new trends in Media/Technology that you learned at NCSLMA.
