The future of schools and school libraries depends on
our capacity to empower and embrace the digital

I decided that students would need to know how to ask good questions (higher level thinking questions), how to facilitate a conversation while still being able to get their
point across, how to manage the classroom, how to look for criticism and understand the criticism they
found, as well as understand what they read.
“If the teacher led the discussion I think it would have an 'artificial' feeling that would keep some students from having a deep
discussion. Since we are leading the discussion, it has a more
'authentic' feel that encourages deeper discussion”.
