Who wants in?
June 7, 2008
June 18, 2008 I am scheduled to give a half day a.m. workshop on Web 2.0 tools and I’ve been given some freedom and flexibility on what I do and how I do it. I am planning to show a few short videos, get a Twitter hello w/ advice, and Skype in a few folks. I have personally contacted a few already, but have decided to use my blog (and Twitter) to solicit more volunteers. I just want some people to allow a skype (w/video or not–the choice is yours) to talk to my audience about how you personally use any 2.0 tools for professional development or projects with students.
I am not talking an hour commitment or anything like that, just a short, sweet “hello” and “here’s an idea or example I’d like to share.” Actually I’ll limit volunteers to no more than 10 or 20 minutes at the most.
Please contact me if you are willing. I am on the east coast, so eastern time rules. I’ll help with the time conversion if you need it. This would be so AWESOME, and what better way to talk about and/or showcase 2.0 tools than to utilize them in my session?
Did I mention my target audience is teacher-librarians–AKA school library media specialists? These are your potential head collaborators at your schools, and I want to equip them with some knock-your-socks-off project based learning ideas they can take back to their schools.
Okay, if you can’t be available to help out, perhaps you can make a video or podcast hello with a tip, example, or advice? I would be MOST appreciative! Use the comments here or the contact form on the blog to join me for this endeavor.

I’m happy to help out if the time zone allows, and if you want someone from further afield (I’m in New Zealand). But I am a midwifery educator, not teacher. cheers Sarah

Cathy,
I’m hoping that you will USTREAM the workshop. I’m currently setting up the brand new library at Cub Run Elementary.

Follett delivered the “Opening Day Collection” on Memorial Day.
We shelved them and now I need to add the school library media label on the title pages and a second barcode in the back of each book.
I love your topic of Web 2.0 tools for library media specialists.
This will be my rookie year as a LMC but I still can dream big. I hope to use Skype with our students to chat with international students and authors. Using Voicethread for book reviews will be in the lesson plans. My population will be 488 elementary students in PreK-5.

I wish I could help. I hope to have a baby by then but I will look for you on twitter that day if I haven’t had the baby. Good luck!

@Sarah-if I need you I am glad I can count on you!
@Marji-Ive not really done a UStream of my own conference, but with some help and a decent camera, I may just do it. I’d have to ask permission of course by the conference organizer. By being here in the blogosphere, you are already demonstrating what a capable and prepared LMS you will be. WOW, I’m envious. I remember my first LMC job in an OLD library (bookwise anyway). I didn’t know anything then. So you are definitely one giant grand-daddy step ahead in the game.
@Melinda - You just have a great end of the pregnancy and enjoy that new baby!! I tickles me pink to know you still read me.
