Imagine if the school librarian could tag-team with the classroom teacher so that together, they could positively alter the school's culture using creativity, innovation, and technology, resulting in a Future Ready School that meets every student's needs. Imagine if the school library were the launchpad for innovation and teachers saw the school librarian as their coach, providing them with expert plays to help them drive the ball across the finish line. Imagine if even the most reluctant of teachers, who made it clear that they were not willing to "get in the game," came to rely upon the school librarian as a valuable resource, critical to their success in the classroom. You don't have to imagine it, though, because this is the reality.

Many librarians are now asked to lead teachers in integrating technology tools and innovative teaching practices into their classrooms, but not all have found the resources they need to be comfortable in this leadership role. Using concrete examples, The School Librarian's Technology Playbook offers strategies for school librarians to initiate and support innovative practices throughout their school community.

At her school, author and learning coordinator Stacy Brown has pioneered the transition to innovation and technology use in the classroom. In The School Librarian's Technology Playbook, she showcases different technology tools and innovative strategies that can be incorporated into the classroom, such as 3D printing, augmented reality, green screen applications, gamification, coding, makerEd, and more. She details the many ways in which school librarians can support teachers as they implement these new practices into their curriculum.

School librarians will learn how to collaborate with teachers and how to empower them to step outside of their comfort zones to try new tools and teaching methods. Readers of this book will also learn how to support teachers as the technology continues to change in this dynamic educational landscape.
