Thing 15

I just wanted to say that our media specialist at Highland has been great at inviting our staff to join in in order to update our own learning and usage of information literacy. My attendance at the BER Workshop by Joanne Troutner can be credited to Janet's invitation. I was able to see the perspective that Joanne presented and I dare say her message is already being implemented. She made it clear how just a picture, video, audio or podcast can be a brief and meaningful class opener or segue during the class. No doubt there is an art to smoothly transitioning during a class to include these types of information sound bytes. I find that if I condition my self to put just a few little interesting tidbits each week I am more likely to make an attempt to enhance the class this way. Her message was that in her presentation she would present so much that you would feel overwhelmed. My head was spinning at the end of the day. But by making a decision to try one or to things can make things feel doable. She also encouraged us to simply spread the wealth by sharing one or two things you liked or found interesting with a friend or colleague.
