The Future “With this we are forced to look at past teaching practices. We are no longer looking at instructional computer labs, where students come to the tech teacher to learn about stuff. We’re talking a new way of teaching technology, in the middle of a library with numerous resources, laptops on tables and iPods in hand. Maybe we need to rethink the noise level of a library. Maybe 21st century libraries are not suppose to be quiet, but instead alive with students interacting with information. We must move past TTWWADI.” -Jeff Utecht
