 * Family of English teachers**//,//** from Indiapolosis
 * Media specialist in Florida (expanded tech skills there)
 * Found himself at JIST
 * Thailand more conducive to lifestyle & ISB is one of a few schools he would leave JIST for
 * Recreation: diving, fishing, being outside
 * Took us through 21st Century initiatives at JIST's Library (done on limited budget)
 * Fishbowl presentation room
 * Weeding
 * Flatscreen TVs
 * Laptop Bar (with stools) - developing
 * TLMS (tech intergrators & librarians) meet at JIST
 * have been working on integrating standards
 * admin have just adopted the standards
 * works closely with the HS tech integrator
 * How do you see the 1:1 roll out affecting the laptops in the library
 * struggles with the term "library" - likes Collaboration or Commons/Media Centre
 * sees himself as a facilitator of a Media Centre
 * Kids of today should have a choice about how they get their information
 * (Chad Q - Why should I as a teacher come to the Library as a collaboration space when my classroom is my collaboration space). Library should be able to run itself with the right staff - I shouldn't have to be there, I can come down to your classroom - teacher learns a skill - collaborate help teachers become experts too, move onto the next teacher
 * Online databases (Chad Q) uses Jstore(?) How can you maintain the balance between online databases & traditional sources (Rob's Q) - doesn't have all the answers, thinks no Media specialist has. Tries to show kids both - give them lots of access to lots of things.
 * (Ida Q) Do you see yourself collaborating with the Tech-integrator? My goal every year is to get into more classroom. It's about the library not having walls.
 * How would you lead or guide learning towards some sort of mobile device? (Rob Q). Huge kindle fan right now - I have no idea what is going to be the "next tool" Kindles are being checked out at JIST - how is that being managed? (Ida Q) - Kindles are not library-friendly - you can't buy stuff for the kindle in Indonesia (has an account that thinks it's in US - put on computer, then on Kindle). Manages over an amazon account. Hasn't bought more kindles - no point in committing to it because iPads are now just hitting Indonesia. Waiting for a few years to see who is going to come out as the "ebook" king
 * Circulation .........
 * Distributed Library - creating reading rooms around the school - what's your thoughts? (Rob Q)
 * all about experimenting
 * have to learn about the culture of the school
 * Thoughts on what you'd do to this library (Chad)
 * Fishbowl - Collaboration rooms/clear walls - huge fan of those, add Whiteboard - put in LCD
 * Would have to learn the culture of school - for decisions on things like the chess playing etc.....
 * movable furniture / flexible space
 * coffee-bar refresher (Rob Q) - all for it
 * Still buying DVDs - can't rely on streaming working all the time. Into technology that works all the time, everytime. (Still have VCRs in Indonesia). It's about drawing in people - afraid to throw out anything that a teacher might still want. But I'm not buying VCRS
 * ISB has shut down cable/shows - only 2 calls about it not being available. ISB used United Streaming but it shutdown 2 years ago. Streaming is available on teachers' computers - there's a lot on the cusp on the moment - Rob would like to work with successor on the way out
 * Ida Q - Can you work with me? A. Absolutely, I'm a pretty-laid back person
 * Rob is reminded of his career with Matt's career story
 * Leadership by example (got some weird looks when I got behind the counter to check out books when there was a line .....)
 * Runs a scuba club at JIST but there's no club here at ISB ||  || Chad/15 mins. ||
