Using Technology to Enhance Student Iquiry by Debbie Abilock.
There are 3 key points that I believe Debbie focused on with the use of Technology at the Nueva School in California.
1. Debbie states that there should be cooperation and collaboration between the librarian and the specialists at a school in order to maxamize the amount of creativity in an activity. Abilock (2001)states "real-world problems often inspire our research projects and generate service learing" (p. 5). I found this very interesting as many students in this era do not depend on librarians very much. I believe many of the students think they can do projects by themselves. I think that Abilock has a great contact that many students overlook. A librarian is a fantastic contact.
2. The student that participates in an ongoing project such as the global warming project not only has to beresponsible for learning all facets of the scientific process but also be able to use technology to enhance various findings. The students had to define, gather information, design experiment, analyze data, draw conclusions and incorporate technology into the process. It appears as though the experiment was a great success according to Abilock, "they assessed their research process, as well as their effectiveness in collaborating with their allies, their oral presentations, and their committee work during simulation" (p. 11).
3. The humanities section of the Chapter proved that collaboration between the student and technology is a fabulous way to review how the learner performed before and now. I enjoyed the idea of "The more you look, the more you see" (p. 13). It was a fascinating activity that reflects how the student learned in the early 1900s.
The project web pages were created by the students with the aid of the librarian and the specialists in the school. Fantastic.

I like that you mentioned about the cooperation and collaboration between librians and specialists at school. Since the Internet has grow, students seem to be using the Libraries less because they feel that they can complete all of their research on the Internet.
