14. My reasons for going from only data projector & T.V. to using SmartBoard exclusively Multiple intelligences – when kids learn more than one way they understand better – visual, auditory, kinesthetic, Interactive – wanted kids to be more involved with lessons than just listening to stories Technology enhancements – keeping up with tech. in their world More fun – wanted kids to have fun when they come to library  My memory of a librarian at a school I taught, she was fun and the kids enjoyed going  I want kids to enjoy coming to the library, sneak in the learning with fun and they will always want to come back

15. How I began using technology Started with PowerPoint slides on T.V.& then used a few things in Notebook Our T.A.G. teacher wrote a grant and included me. The library had money so we purchased one. We already had a projector & laptop. Then we switched to a wireless laptop. Made all of the difference. K.I.S.S. - Began playing games using Funschool & Primary Games Taught Excel, etc…
