Creating Conversations with Participatory School Librarianship

Are you interested in creating conversations in your library to facilitate student learning and teacher collaboration?   Do you see your library as more than just a place of information objects?  Do you want your library to be about experiences and not just “stuff” in the library?

If so, I would like to invite you to my session, Not Just Another Brick in the Wall: Engaging 21st Century Learning Through Participatory School Librarianship, that  will take place on 11/06/09 from 2:15PM to 3:30PM. It will be located in room 213BC of the Charlotte Convention Center.   We will be engaging in our conversations about how to create conversations for formal learning and the AASL Standards for 21st Century Learners as well as creating conversations with your library community using traditional and Library 2.0 tools.

Right now, the final presentation materials are under wraps, but they will be posted by 10PM Tuesday evening, November 3, 2009 at http://theunquietlibrarian.wikispaces.com/aasl2009.  Once posted, you will be able to preview the slidedeck and presentation links as well as a Google Moderator session I have created as a medium for you to pose questions.

You are encouraged to bring a laptop to the session, but it is not required.  You may also want to bring your cellphone for a fun activity as well as your creative energy for some hands-on activities I hope to do with you as a guest in the session.

If you plan to Tweet my session, please use the #aasl2009 hashtag as well as this hashtag just for my session:  #plaasl2009.  I hope to see you there!

Pivot Points for Change: Libraries and Librarians Using Web 2.0 to Connect, Create, and Collaborate

On Tuesday, September 15, I will be the guest speaker for the Georgia Public Library Service All-Staff meeting.  I am honored to have the opportunity to be part of the group and create some conversations about ways we can cherish the traditional elements of librarianship that work while looking to new and innovative ways we can reach our patrons and continue our professional growth.   Here are my resources for the talk:

I am honored to be a virtual guest speaker Monday evening (September 14) for Dr. Lisa Trip and her LIS5313 students.   Here are some of the talking points we’ll kick around:

• Examples of what I’ve done with technology and why
• How to manage it all & continue to innovate (how do you think about whether or not to try something new, when do you ‘drop’ something)
• What we think library 2.0 means for libraries ((implications for library staff, library services, users…)
• Specific issues & challenges I’ve dealt with
• Recommendations for others

Thanks to Jim Randolph, “Teacher Ninja” and SLM candidate at UGA, I am using Google Moderator for this presentation.  Last week, Dr. Tripp emailed the link to my Google Moderator series I set up for this upcoming talk; we also Tweeted it using the course hashtag #lis5313.  Last night, I took about an hour to answer the questions that had come in, and I think it will help facilitate the conversations we will have in the Elluminate classroom Monday night. You can see my Google Moderator series here:

Presentation to Student Teachers: Collaboration and Research Pathfinders

In February 2009, I did a presentation on Research Pathfinders 2.0 at GCTE (Georgia Council of Teachers of English) at Jekyll Island.  Dr. Katherine Mason, Assistant Professor of English Education, who attended the session, asked me to come and share my presentation with her student teachers at my undergraduate alma mater, Kennesaw State University.  I will be discussing the importance of collaboration between teachers and school library media specialists, and I hope to showcase a tour of examples that will get them fired up about tapping into the power of their school libraries.

The resource/presentation page is housed at http://theunquietlibrarian.wikispaces.com/researchpathfinders .  I have updated the presentation and embedded it below.  I am extremely excited about speaking to the student teachers tonight and having the opportunity to share what librarians and libraries can do to help teachers and students!
