 * **Michelle Harris**, District Librarian, Heyworth CUSD #4 harrism@husd4.k12.il.us

In today's info-rich society, school librarians need to be on the cutting edge when it comes to teaching our students new skills for a new age. Web 2.0 tools spark student interest and can be a dynamic means of learning, creating, and collaborating. But does this brave new world feel a little intimidating to you? Are you struggling to think of ways that these kinds of tech tools can be integrated with the library lessons and books you already use? Join me as I demonstrate how a wiki--combined with some cool Web 2.0 tools--can be an easy way to bring your library instruction into the 21st century for learners of all ages.
