Building a Dynamic Web Presence with Web 2.0 Tools
with Amanda Etches-Johnson - 6 week on-line course
Web 2.0, Library 2.0, blogs, RSS, wikis, IM, tags, podcasting. Chances
are, you've heard these terms tossed around over the past few months,
and you're probably eager to get a grasp on what it all means for your
library. If so, this course is for you! Join us as we explore ways in
which libraries can use these tools and technologies for on-line content
delivery, to create a dynamic Web presence and enhance the user
experience.
Tuesday, Mar. 20, 4-5pm ET (1-2pm PT)
Put A Blog on the Fire! Light That Wiki!
Part of the TECH TUESDAYS: TALKING WITH TECHIES Series
with Anita Brooks Kirkland - 1 hour WEB CONFERENCE
This is an overview session for educators who have not had time to
explore some of the new internet technologies and tools that have the
potential to profoundly change the learning landscape as we know it
today.
Do you know about wikis, podcasting, blogging? These terms, while
unfamiliar to us, are everyday language for most of the students in our
classrooms. We are progressing into a virtual social networking
environment made possible by the ever-increasing development of new
on-line collaboration tools which are used for communication by our
students, but have good potential as teaching and learning tools also.
This session will begin to spark your curiosity, and begin to build your
knowledge and skill in this new world.

Developing Critical Thinking skills Through Media Literacy
with Belinha De Abreu - 1 hour AUDIO CONFERENCE
Television, radio, movies, magazines -- information reaches kids
through all of these formats. How can you help students develop the
critical thinking skills they need to navigate through information in
all formats? This session will offer an introduction to this
all-important 21st century literacy. Traditional literacy focused on the
printed word. New literacies incorporate words, graphics, sounds, still
and moving images, pictures, charts and other formats to communicate
messages. Today's digital environment brings new challenges to educators
and this introductory session will provide an excellent foundation upon
which to build new dimensions in teaching and learning.
Friday, Mar. 23rd, 1-2pm ET (10-11am, PT)
British Books in Canada: The Great Unknown
with Nicholas Hoare - 1 hour AUDIO CONFERENCE
British books are buried treasure. They are poorly promoted in Canada,
and all too rarely reviewed, but remain a rich resource for Canadian
libraries, whose collections are often impoverished by their absence.
In this session, Nicholas Hoare will attempt to differentiate between
myth and mystique in UK collection development.
