This week I am attending the National Conference of the American Association of School Librarians. On the record, I am not a school librarian, but I do provide professional development (PD) to teachers and school librarians. My day job is to develop and implement PD using the digtal resources of the Library of Congress. So today, I'll be attending sessions by the Library both in the exhibit halls and in their official session. The booth is very nice: quite professional but not too slick. Apparently the other one is a bit 'high and mighty' and scared people off!
I saw my Library colleagues last night as well as several librarians that I know from the Asheville area. One of them was knitting in line!
For the first session, I'm deciding between 'Developing Global Awareness in the 21st Century Learner' and Electronic NoteTaking. Biggest issue is that I should take my laptop to the Note-Taking session and that will require carrying it about 4 blocks.
As it often happens the 2nd session has ALL the workshops I'd like to take! But I will attend the LOC session. At 2:15 I'll attend 'Get Graphic! Visuals for Deep Thinking, Inquiry and Learning' because of my interest inf visual literacy and would love some new strategies for implementation. So I am off to the conference, laptop in hand!
Official Fiber Content: Having knit 1.9 hats last evening, my conference session knitting is a ribbed guy hat using my newly handspun brown yarn - very pretty!
