EdTechTalk loves libraryland and wants to feature teacher-librarians in this week’s webcast. Please join the party on Sunday night (July 9th) at 7 PM EST.
Hosts Jeff Lebow and Dave Cormier plan to present a:
“basic overview of what’s going in the World of Library Arts for this show. No doubt there are plenty of directions we could go in - perhaps material for future shows.”
This is a wonderful way for us to chat and scheme and for us to demonstrate who we are and what we contribute to the rest of the edtech universe. I am thinking we’ll talk about the evolving role of the teacher-librarian, 21st century info fluency skills, emerging library landscapes (School Library 2.0?), new strategies for student research, and whatever else the participants would like to attack.
Here’s how to get to EdTechTalk. Visit http://edtechtalk.com/. From there, enter the chat room. Click on “Listen” and choose your favorite audio player (http://edtechtalk.com/listen) and turn up the volume! You’ll probably want to open a second browser window.
If you are very brave and want to participate in the live audio, make sure you download Skype (http://skype.com/) first. It’s free, a wonderful alternative to phone bills, as well as a great place to host an live event. And it works on all platforms. If you want to add your voice to the discussion, remember to also plug in your microphone!
Stick around a little longer on Sunday night and you’ll be able to connect with the folks at Info Island in Second life for a virtual tour of what they’ve been up to - scheduled for 10 PM EST (3 hours after ETT’s start time).
I truly hope many of you will join us Sunday for LibraryFest at EdTechTalk! If you haven’t yet participated in a live Webcast or used Skype, this may be the perfect time to noodle around!
