Annotation: The Institute for New Media Specialists was Web cast throughout the state from June 2003 to April 2004. This project was designed for the library media specialist with five years or less experience, but even veteran library media specialists could benefit from the information. This yearlong project was developed by GPB Education (PeachStar) in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Education. These lessons were prepared and presented by library media specialists, university professors, and system coordinators and can provide online group or individual professional learning opportunities. This package contains 20 modules. Each WebCast module contains the video presentation with accompanying slides. Several modules also include supplemental resources such as questions, polls, and downloadable documents.
