The LMS as a Leader in the School Community

The demands on the school Library Media Specialist are great. The LMS is a teacher, an organizer, an administrator of the library, and a leader in the school community.
The LMS is responsible for keeping up with the ever increasing array of Web 2.0 tools and how these tools can and should be implemented in the classroom to enrich the 21st Century learning environment. It is an easy job compared to the one of convincing that school community of teachers and other staff of the benefits of taking the time to learn the tools and in turn to teach their students the same.
So in planning a PD for these teachers with the purpose of training them to use these applications with their students, I feel it is important to assure these teachers that learning them will not be a waste of their time and show them examples of how student learning will benefit from their incorporation. A tough job? Yes. Impossible? No. The key is not to expect all teachers to be on the bandwagon from the start. Take it slowly. If you can convince even a few teachers to try a certain application and then be there to support the teacher as he/she becomes comfortable with its use, then it will only be a matter of time before more teachers want to follow and the number of successful users will increase.
So where do I begin? Which tool should be my initiation? I plan to begin with the wiki. Most of the teachers by now have heard the term wiki and though not too many in my school district have used one in the classroom, I feel that they will be more open to listen to my views and recommendations for its use if they've heard it mentioned.
I plan to announce my intentions with another application, a Voki. I think this will break the ice and make the teachers more curious about what they may be able to learn to create. The PD will be in the form of a PowerPoint which I find is still one of the best forms of presentation.
Whatever the outcome, it is my responsibility to offer training and support to classroom teachers, administrators, and students, a challenging role but one I feel I am willing and able to accept.
