If you watch her presentation, be prepared for the possibility of being a little overwhelmed - did I mention I had five pages of links? I almost wish she had broken it down into shorter videos - maybe one on online safety and ethics, one on research, one on creativity & innovation and one on collaboration. I would have liked to have seen more examples for each website, they sounded so intriguing. But, I can put on my own ruby slippers and follow the yellow brick road of links that wait for me. I'm off to see the Wizard!

We're off to see the Wizard
Joyce Valenza is one of the powerhouses of the library world. Somehow she manages to teach, blog, present, wiki, create pathfinders, innovate and probably makes a mean batch of brownies also. When I saw that she was one of the presenters at the online conference, I had to watch her. I ended up with a 5 page handwritten (how non 21st century of me) list of websites and apps. I was pleased to see how many of them we had covered in class. Now, I'm rethinking the project on demonstrating our digital learning. I'm not sure if I'll change it but I want to try out some of the new tools to see if they would be a different way to approach the project.

Your title intrigued me and I enjoyed your post. From brownies to hand written notes (me too!), I am glad you found an online conference worth viewing. By the way, have you embarked on your journey? Any flying monkeys in your path? Remember, "there's no place like the Dennet Library." :)
ReplyDeleteI have! No flying monkeys yet. But I am starting to explore the links and if any appear, I'm going to remember to wear the mantra!
