conference...
You CAN have a website that is fresh and cool and you
CAN create it yourself! :)

easy-to-implement online resources.

about this stuff is fun (and so are your presenters)! :)

57. Why Web 2.0 Rocks:
"Education ... traditionally focuses on lectures and exams,
forcing students to memorize complex descriptive terminologies
and taxonomies. 'This conventional approach is at odds with
knowledge about how people learn. ... Researchers have
demonstrated that students learn more effectively when they are
actively engaged in the learning process and self
evaluation. [Web 2.0] applies this active learning approach using
... social computing technologies, such as Facebook, MySpace,
blogs, cell phones, etc., to increase student engagement in
botanical science and to address known recruitment and
retention challenges."

58. The Librarian as Information Sherpa
“These competencies [digital and media
literacies] are, however, new forms of
foundational learning. The consequences
of neglecting this challenge can be dire.
Students who are deeply immersed in the
world of online communication outside of
school may find classrooms
that marginalize new technologies both
tedious and irrelevant. For students who
lack online access at home, schooling

59. The internet was invented
17 years ago...*
That means 17 years old or
younger (and that's every single
one of our students) has known
the internet their whole lives!

our kids "came out clicking..."
Per Palfrey and Gasser,
our kids "were born digital..."

62. When was the last time you
went to work and didn't touch
a computer all day???

63. TLs (can) OWN 2.0 (if we want to)!
We provide:
tools
space
organization
expertise
We instruct:
….and then we stand back and let them practice!
We maintain:
The space
The portals
The stuff
We connect
Kids with stuff
Kids with people [both real and imaginary]
With teachers
Teachers with stuff

64. The Guilt Trip...
There are 3 types of librarians...
1. Those that read and participate in the online think-tank we call
social media.
2. Those content to lurk but still hesitant (unwilling, or unable,
for whatever reason) to contribute.
and...
3. Those still stuck in the analog paradigm.

65. The Hope Trip...
We hope this will help you be
more of a 2.0 type of librarian.
Thank you for listening. :)
