Chapter 3: Case Profile: Zoe Midler and Google Docs

Abstract

Google Apps for Education is not only helping elementary school librarian Zoe Midler connect with students and teachers to infuse information and research skills seamlessly into the curriculum but is also serving as her new medium for educating parents and including them as part of the larger library learning community. This chapter highlights Midler's experience in embedding herself in and outside of the fifth-grade classroom through Google Docs to build students’ fluency in the use of research databases.
