So much more to learn, so much more to teach. The evolution of the librarian and the library.
Joyce Kasman Valenza loves her work as the librarian at Springfield
Township High School (PA)! For ten years, she was the techlife@school
columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Joyce is the author of Power

Congress Teacher with Primary Sources cohort. Her Virtual Library won
the IASL School Library Web Page of the Year Award for 2001. She has won
her state's PSLA Outstanding Program (2005) and Outstanding Contributor
(2009) Awards. Joyce is active in ALA, AASL, YALSA, and ISTE and
contributes to VOYA, Technology and Learning, LMC and School Library
Journal. Joyce speaks internationally about issues relating to libraries
and thoughtful use of educational technology. She considers herself a
mother and founder of the school library Geek Tribe,
SchoolLibraryWebsites, New Tools Workshop, TLNing, TL Virtual Café, TL
Ning, Pathfinder Swap, School Library Websites, and TLGuide.
TEDx is a program of local,
self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like

organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for
the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*
