I'm SO excited! I just enrolled in one of the online courses listed below and I'm looking forward to learning new and fun things!! The HARDEST thing for me to do is to decide WHICH course to take....what a list of great courses! I'd encourage others to do this if you're looking for some new ideas, sparks of creative thinking, or just some professional networking while learning something new! I'm enrolled in the "Teaching Information Literacy Using Primary Sources"---with Mary Alice Anderson as the teacher!! Hope others take advantage of this opportunity! I'm looking forward to the program! ~Shonda Shonda Brisco, MLIS US / Technology Librarian Fort Worth Country Day School Fort Worth, TX "Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible." ~St. Francis of Assisi sbrisco@fwcds.org http://www.fwcds.org/campus/libraries/default.asp >>> Josephine Dervan <rderva@INFIONLINE.NET> 01/03/06 7:50 PM >>> Online Professional Development Courses for School Library/Media Specialists begin in January http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/courses.shtml#library University of Wisconsin-Stout School of Education New - EDUC 744 951F DIGITAL CLASSROOM: TEACHING INFORMATION LITERACY WITH PRIMARY SOURCES http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/primarysources.shtml This course focuses on the integration of primary resources and information literacy with K-12 curriculum.
