ECMS - County-wide Media Specialists Meeting

(3 hours)
I attended the county-wide media specialists meeting at the BOE. This was facilitated by the head information technologist for the county, who also oversees the media specialists. He covered many aspects of concern on the agenda, including the implementation of Media on Moodle (MOM), which houses resources and lessons available for use by anyone who has a system login. It was decided that we will not purchase another OPAC. Infocentre, our OPAC, will remain and will hopefully be made available online in the near future. Copyright concerns, SysAids (technology concerns of individuals submitted for help), disposal of surplus of resources, training and conferences including PLUs, blogging and podcasting were among the topics of discussion. This was a very beneficial meeting to be able to see the inner workings and concerns of media technology.
