If you need to get in gear with new technologies for your library program, here is a great opportunity to work with Joyce Valenza for a whole day in Saratoga on November 5. I have seen parts of this at conferences and can't wait to see it all! Sara CE-G: New Landscapes for Learning: Web 2.0 and the Virtual Library 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM / SLMS / .6 CEU credits $100. Register for the CE and/or the conference at http://www.nyla.org “Web 2.0 meets Information Fluency: Designing Projects for 21st Century Learners: An Update” will be addressed in the morning. To be most effective, citizens of the future will need to creatively blend several relatively traditional skills with emerging information and communication tools. They will need to practice those skills in an information landscape that is genre-shifting, media-rich, participatory, socially connected, and brilliantly chaotic. Examples of effective practice, learning-centered projects that foster information and exploit the potential of Web 2.0 for learning will be presented. “Open the Door: Let 'em In--School Library Web Sites: Interacting with the 21st Century Learner” will be the focus of the afternoon. Our libraries should now have two front doors: physical and virtual. The effective virtual library can be a vibrant knowledge management tool for the entire school community. Inviting young users in and functioning as engaging space for learning, sharing and celebrating student work. Practical ideas for building student-centered virtual libraries--whether html or Web 2.0-based will be presented.
