Upcoming Event
Building a Successful Online Learning Community for Librarians: A Conversation with Steve Hargadon
Thursday, Feb 9 at 3pm EST
In this interview session with renowned educational technologist Steve Hargadon, our first question will likely be “Steve, how do you manage so many projects simultaneously.” A review of his website reveals that Hargadon manages or participates in multiple online communities and produces several online interview series that feature leading educators and technologists. Hargadon is also recognized for launching the Library 2.011 Conference that was attended by over 5,000 participants from countries around the globe. In this webcast we’ll learn more from Hargadon about managing successful online communities, and how to get one’s colleagues engaged in sharing ideas and information in virtual environments. Hargadon will reflect on the Library 2.011 Conference, and share what’s next. We’ll also be hearing Hargadon share his thoughts about the future of higher education, technology for teaching and learning, and libraries in an increasingly digital world.
This is a free event & no registration is needed. There are a limited number of seats that are available on a first come first served basis. Please log in early to obtain your seat.
(Note: You need to be a member of the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community to participate. No fee to join.)
View the archived recording of a recent webcast, Rethinking the Future of Education and Libraries:
Where Are We Going, and Why? is now available at the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community. Listed to the free-wheeling discussion based on David Warlick's statement about education, "If you can imagine it, it's probably closer to reality than to fiction." Can that be true? Are the technologies advancing to the point where they no longer stop us from creating our ideal educational environments? If we were to "reinvent" education today, discarding things that don't make sense and doing what we know would work, are there technological pieces missing? If not, what's stopping us? This session quickly paints an image or two of what education might become, and what impact this may have for academic libraries and how should
the library be transformed.
