[LM_NET] SHARE: Online Professional Learning Opportunity

[Barbara Braxton <barbara.288@BIGPOND.COM>]

I have received information about a new online professional learning course that I 
thought I should
share because it looks really exciting and just what many of us are asking for. 

"21st Century Learning - Transforming School Libraries with Web 2.0 " will be 
available from
February 20 - March 1 (British Columbia time) from 
http://www.yourschoollibrary.org/index.html 

It will focus on the Web 2.0 tools being used by our students and discuss how these 
can become part
of OUR toolbox.  As well as papers by leading international teacher librarians, 
there will be
discussion forums and chat and optional face-to-face meetings. Presentations will 
be in a variety of
formats and are likely to include: blog, wiki, video, podcast, PowerPoint slides 
and pdf. The
presentations will be of a length that can be read/viewed in about 30 minutes. 
Presentations will
also include 2-3 guiding questions that will engage the audience. 
 
Each presentation will have a related discussion forum which will be moderated and 
will include
input from the presenter. It is these forums that provide the possibility for a 
rich learning
experience.   Facilitators are James Henri, president of IASL and Sandra Lee from  
University Canada
West and the University of British Columbia.
