My name is Michelle Luhtala and I'm the Library Department Chair at the New Canaan High School Library
in New Canaan, Connecticut.
It affirms something I've actually long known, which is that I work in paradise.
It shows what a well-funded and supported library and well staffed
library
can actually
do for students and for learning
and uh... without the support of my
administration, students, parents, faculty and staff,
we have an amazing staff,
I wouldn't be here.
So I think that's really important. I also want underscore that I teach in
a free-range media, bring-your-own device school
and that's made this possible also, because we have the opportunity to work with
students and teach them to publish
and to learn in the real world everyday
and that is very powerful and we think that this really helps us to make them
successful the twenty-first century.
And that's why I'm here.
It's really a collective effort.
