This document provides an overview of a seminar on making effective use of iPads and other digital tools in school library media programs. It discusses different levels of iPad fluency - being skilled, literate, and fluent - and provides examples of what users at each level know how to do. The seminar leader encourages participants not to stress and emphasizes that everyone is at a different level. Participants are told to view the session as a smorgasbord where they can sample iPad apps and resources. The document also includes several quotes about the importance of using technology tools to foster 21st century skills and not limiting thinking.
