Hi, Im Lynn and very new to this. Ive been doing a Learning 2.0 class and trying to come to terms with the changes that are taking place as a result of this revolution. Im working in a new International School in Songdo, South Korea and after many years in administration am moving back into the classroom full time. Im looking forward to this BUT embedding technology in authentic and useful ways is something Im on a mission to achieve.
Im interested in finding information from teachers who are working with PYP particularly grade K-2 and also information on multi modal literacies and how the new technologies are creating new genres of texts -what that means for educators and how we embed these text types. Can anyone help ?

Does anyone have any idea of the optimum best percentage rate of digital to traditional matter in libraries/media centers. Many thanks. Rae
