dear teens and others,
despite mr. wade's and my last-minute efforts to collaborate on something cool, teen tech week sort of snuck up on us this year. we were both super-busy with other school stuff and, to be honest, i get sort of tired of publicizing programs that only a few people pay attention to. i mean, in this case, plenty of students are in the library using technology regardless. i didn't need to make a big deal about it, and this year i didn't have the heart (or the budget) for it.
so, what did we do? well, we did what we would have done anyway, only without the fanfare. no banners or fliers; nothing formal or fancy; just some simple electronic games and all-around good clean fun! :)

us playing itouch tic tac toe :)
us playing google phone accelerometer games :)
maybe next year we'll go all out with a tournament and prizes and a whole lot of hoopla. maybe not. the point of teen tech week isn't to get teens to use more tech. teens today practically eat tech for breakfast! the point of teen tech week is to get teens to use libraries' non-print resources. and casa's teens do that everyday! :)
so, on that note, we say so long to teen tech week 2010 with a techy geeky song (or 10) from mr. wade via boingboing: popten's top ten geek anthems.
happy teen tech week to one and all! :)
