For the CSLA Conference program, "M-Learning", I created a list of TOP 10 categories of mobility applications for libraries and posted details on my 2CoolTools blog. Each category has a separate post, which makes it easier to comment or make suggestions. I'm always looking for examples of how libraries use technology.
Top 10 Categories
1- Reference and Research – anytime, anywhere
2- Language Translation Services
3- Disaster Planning/Emergency Preparedness
4- Assistive Technology
5- Administrative
6- Productivity Tools
7- Outreach/PR
8- Publishing – mobile blogging and more
9- Programs
10- M-Learning (educational)
The examples need compelling stories to go with them. Let us know how you use (or would use) mobile devices in your library.

Best wishes.

Education Tech Committee Suggested Project
There are 2 new things required in the 2010 tech plans for schools. One is Internet Safety. CTAP Region 4 has that pretty well covered with their poster, powerpoints, and other great stuff. http://www.ctap4.org/cybersafety/
THe other is Copyright. We could do a great service for California schools if we developed copyright lesson plans and continuum to support this. You can check out some of the resources I have links to at my copyright page for starters. www.georgepilling.com/copyright .

Discovering Assistive Technology - a tutorial
The California School Library Association has introduced another free, online professional development tutorial for its members and educators at large. Discovering Assistive Technology includes five (5) modules:
- Types of disabilities
- Hardware
- Software
- Etiquette and Awareness
- Curriculum Connections
About 20 CSLA members recommended books having characters with disabilities, resulting in a LibraryThing database on the topic. This tutorial is timely for celebrating Disability Awareness Month in October.
Special thanks go to the many CSLA members who contributed to the booklist, and to Jane Tong and her team at TransAccess.
