School Library to Learning Commons: a transformational journeyCamilla Elliott
This presentation to International Boys Schools Conference, Cape Town 2015 explores the journey of Mazenod College Library where the student Technology Support Team supports makerspace activities of coding,augmented reality, Kerbal SpaceProgram, and Minecraft coexisting alongside Lego Masters, Chess, Book Club, and peer learning. Not a high-budget renovation, but a renewal focused on behavioural and learning outcomes, and access to quality resources. The traditional model of school library based on information scarcity has evolved into flexible learning spaces that enhance social interaction and cross-disciplinary learning.
The slide deck from the fierce and awesome Battledecks competition that was held June 2010 during the American Library Association's annual conference.
This presentation highlights the transition from libraries to learning commons in the Ottawa Catholic School Board as part of our 21st Century Learning priority.
This is my final paper for Schools and Society. The purpose was to propose a change in education, and I chose to reinvent the high school library and turn it into a learning commons.
A program called "Top Library Building Trends" that was conducted at ALA Annual 2010 (June 28, 2010) by LLAMA BES.
A panel of architects, librarians and consultants will provide an overview of new and exciting ideas in planning public and academic library facilities. Topics will include the rethinking of spaces for services, new building design, and other “must have” items to keep your library up-to-date. Each panelist will provide a brief presentation with slides. The entire panel will then field questions from the audience.

There are four main topics in this presentation - from simple practical considerations to the more obscure cognitive triggers. IAs need to know this stuff and act on it before the interaction-design crowd, the business analysts, and the content strategists take it away from them:
1. Forms and basic functionality - the crap needs to work
2. Building shared references - folks won't buy what they don't understand
3. Value-added services - enhancing the experience through context
4. Cognitive triggers - influencing irrational decision-making processes
This is a more refined, somewhat European-ized version of an earlier presentation made in Denver, CO.

This is a talk about e-commerce. What makes it work. What causes it to fail.
There are four main topics in this presentation - from simple practical considerations to the more obscure cognitive triggers. IAs need to know this stuff and act on it in an informed, professional manner and each topic certainly deserves a presentation of its own – or a conference of its own. My aim here is simply to set your grey-matter in motion by introducing you to some generic problems and solutions that transcend almost all e-commerce solutions. Here’s the quick-and-dirty rundown:
1. Forms and basic functionality - the crap needs to work
2. Building shared references - folks won't buy what they don't understand
3. Value-added services - enhancing the experience through context
4. Cognitive triggers - influencing irrational decision-making processes
It was great to meet and talk with TN librarians! Thanks for this invitation and opportunity to share CCSS tactics for reading, research and making connections for Millennial learners. Remember it's all about the kids...the Millennial, self-centered, want-to-own their own learning, kids.
Patrick “PC” Sweeney is the Political Director for Everylibrary.org (the first and only national organization dedicated to building voter support for libraries). The focus of this training is on training and advising libraries to build political power and influence to support library funding. Throughout the workshop we will answer the following questions;
What is your library board doing to increase sustainable, local government funding for your library?
What is your current messaging model?
Are you providing stories or stats?
Does your library have Super Supporters?
Are you cultivating the right relationships?
What influences politics?
How are decisions made in your town?
Who do you need to influence?
What are your tactics for opposition?
Relationships matter for all organizations but how do we make sure we are able to cultivate the kinds of relationships that matter most? Throughout this session we will demonstrate how networks of power influence the community around us and help librarians understand the power structure in their community, their own networks of power, and how to put those networks to work for their library. By the end of this session attendees should have a plan for identifying individuals and organizations of influence, using power mapping and messaging to engage them and give them a role in your library that makes an impact.
This presentation was given at the Michigan Rural Library Conference. For more information about my workshops and trainings for librarians, please visit - pcsweeney.com/speaking
Libraries that can most effectively communicate their value to the community are less likely to lose funding and are more likely to have the support of local politicians and voters. In this presentation, PC Sweeney will discuss some of the most effective strategies used by the most successful organizations and initiatives. We will learn how we can take advantage of these strategies to create and distribute our own messages. We will explore how to create audiences, how to use a message box, the benefits of a 27-9-3 messages, how to implement effective message models, and how we can create messages in the face of opposition. We will also touch on some of best and most advanced platforms and methods for distributing messaging to the public. This presentation was given at the Pennsylvania Trustees Meeting and the North Carolina Directors Workshop.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that big data, strong email, and effective Facebook tactics are changing the ways that large and small organizations communicate with their communities. However, each tactic can’t exist independently and in order to effectively win an election, campaigns must take a holistic approach to digital strategy. So, do we go beyond a basic Facebook ad or email and build a more holistic strategy to create effective audiences, reach non-users, and solicit for more donations and volunteers? In this presentation, we will debut some of the overall digital theory, best big data practices, and most effective digital tactics that are used by major organization. We will also discuss many of the ways that even small and underfunded libraries can harness this power for themselves.
These slides are from the Tutor.com presentation on September 19th about creating digital strategies for political power building for library funding.

This is my presentation for http://nekls.org/ about moving people from simply being advocates for libraries to taking action for libraries as well as power mapping.
A broad base of community support is essential to a healthy library. Sometimes, though, you have initiatives and plans for your library that are never going to fly without support from key decision makers within your community. So how do you win support from those key people? The answer: Power Mapping. Power Mapping is a political technique that allows you to identify specific influencers and secure their support for your cause.

We are each individually tasked with serving our communities but what happens when we come together and include each other and our community members? By utilizing patron driven acquisitions, user created programming, community centered strategic planning, and service models that include the public in planning, we can expand our programs and services in a way that is most meaningful to our communities. After all, who knows better about our patron's needs than the patrons themselves?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
