Attendee+3

My name is Rosemary Burton and I am a high school teacher librarian at Perth Modern High School. The school is going through an extensive building programme and we have just moved into a beautiful new library, which has lots of windows and open space over 2 levels. The school is transitioning to a selective school and now has years 8-10 GATE students. The process will complete in 2012.

I am keen to improve my knowledge of technologies so that the library can ensure it is catering for the school community's educational needs, both now and in the future. This conference has so far been fantastic - giving me the opportunity to try out some of the technologies that I have often heard about but have not had the time to experiment with. It's a great way of exploring the huge capabilities of Web 2.0 technologies - with the benefit of expert guidance.

The conference has also allowed me to appreciate the professional value of some of these applications which I can apply to my role within the West Australian School Library Association.
