They are information specialists who keep up with the constant changes in information and technology. It is important for them to keep students up-to-date and teach them to use technology properly. Gaming and technology are both important concepts for 21st-century school librarians to implement in their busy programs. The school library is not like the classroom with a set curriculum and a set way of running a program. The school library is a place of flexibility, fun, and learning.

Gaming and technology are simply great vehicles for achieving this. In this article, the author discusses how to implement technology and gaming lessons in a school library.
