The document discusses developing a teaching identity among librarians. It argues that cultivating a teaching identity can combat burnout, improve classroom effectiveness, and facilitate collaboration. Some obstacles to developing a teaching identity include lack of time, reluctance to learn from others, and lack of support. The document provides suggestions for how librarians can cultivate a teaching identity, such as forming teaching-focused communities, conducting peer observations, developing teaching philosophies, and engaging in reflective practices. The goal of this work is to increase librarians' confidence, improve teaching, and foster stronger teaching communities.

@brianhousand
Geek. Nerd. Dork. Dweeb. All terms that were once derogatory and served to alienate and ridicule highly intelligent individuals who are passionate about specific areas of interest. Yet, in 2015, these have become terms of empowerment to a great number of gifted students and a source of true pride. This session begins by examining the origin and evolution in the portrayal of stereotypes in popular culture while exploring the differences between each of these terms. From there, we will explore a collection of powerful online tools and resources for the geeks and nerds in your life. Come and GET YOUR GEEK ON!
Improve Your Team: Explore Cognitive BiasDan Neumann
Many team challenges can be tracked back to cognitive biases: our judgement gets anchored, we think we're better than we are, and we are our own favorite reference point. And even though we're encouraged to "think outside the box," there are conditions where we have a bias against creativity. If that's not a recipe for a tough team environment, I don't know what is.
Improve your game by learning about bias! You'll leave this session with strategies for identifying and mitigating bias on your team.

Cultivating Curiosity through Questioning
Humans are naturally curious beings, but as Sir Ken Robinson suggests, schools may have unintentionally squashed out the creativity and inquisitive nature of many of students. While ubiquitous digital devices provide us with the opportunity to find the answer to almost any question, many students struggle to find accurate information online. Now more than ever, we must teach our students to be critical consumers of the information that they encounter. Together we will explore and construct technology resources designed to engage students’ curiosity and learn ways to compose better questions for application and synthesis.

Have learners use these points to examine the value of each question and consider how to apply it to their own self-directed learning pursuits.
We Used It The Way We Wanted To: Research on Learner Engagement in Participat...Erin Knight
A presentation about an ongoing exploratory study around learner engagement in participatory learning environments. This presentation was presented at EDEN 2010 (a trimmed down version) and the Sloan C Emerging Technology for Online Education 2010 conferences.
The need to stay up to date on the latest developments in your field of study has never been more urgent. With increasing competition, stagnant unemployment and expected budget shortfalls every professional must be able to prove their value to the organization. The good news is that opportunities for learning are abundant and new advances in technology have produced a variety of options suitable for any budget or schedule. Still, resources are scarce and the pressure to make the most of every moment can derail many attempts to explore new learning experiences. This session will address steps you can take to get the most return out of your investment of time and money in professional development activities.
Building Community in the Classroom - this is a presentation from a workshop for faculty at the American University in Cairo and has sample activities one can do to build community at various times in the semester.
Becoming An Educationalist is designed to help Education students become successful in the present day as they study - and to become active, creative, critical and emancipatory educationalists for the 21st Century. This show encapsulates the first introductory lecture that explained some over-arching successful study strategies - and that explained the TLA approach of the module.
The meta-goal of the module is to re-define study and academic skills to include 'developing the digital you', with a focus on practical digital literacies and a more critical awareness of visual literacies: all aspects of creating and inhabiting on-line spaces and places... and IBL, PBL, Project-based learning, learning through art and artistic practices, learning through discussion, reflection and meta-reflection.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Cohen - The missing link: librarians and the teaching identity
1. THE MISSING LINK
Librarians and the Teaching Identity
Sarah Faye Cohen
Champlain College, Burlington, Vermont
2. • Why focus on developing
Session
Goals the teaching identity?
What are we here to talk
about today? • How can we cultivate the
teaching identity?
• What are obstacles to
cultivating the teaching
identity, said and unsaid?
• What are the results of this
work?
3. Why focus on developing
the teaching identity?
In two parts.
4. 1. Professionally and logistically
• Combats burnout and
isolation.
• Improves effectiveness
in the classroom.
• Facilitates
collaboration and
“groupthink” for more
diversity of ideas.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/catheroo/1474795920
6. “We rarely talk with each other about
teaching at any depth—and why should we
when we have nothing more than ‘tips,
tricks, and techniques’ to discuss? That kind
of talk fails to touch the heart of the teacher’s
experience.”
(The Courage to Teach, 13)
7. “the heart of the teacher’s experience”
• What does it mean to
be teaching librarian?
• What does it mean to
be a teacher?
• Are you a teacher?
• What does that look
like, sound like, feel
like, taste like?
9. Exposing the truth behind our
challenges
http://collegeteachingtips.com/wp-
content/uploads/2011/01/PonderingInstructor.jpg
10. Is it something else? A crisis.

12. At the elemental level.
“Look within. Within is the
fountain of good, and it will
ever bubble up, if you
keep digging.”
(Marcus Aurelius)
• To understand our
students, our
objectives, our
pedagogy, and our
teaching, we need to
understand ourselves.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rrrodrigo/5998696169
15. Standing Meetings
• Specific time for the
people who teach to
address teaching
• Time to acknowledge,
vent, experiment,
design, share
• Expression of value
and importance
16. Group Readings
• Why?
• The group that reads
together, stays together.
• An environment that is
informal, relaxed, and
supportive.
• How
• A book of one’s own
• Various formats
• Using meeting time to read
• Focused.

operandi” for being in the
classroom?
• Vision for the
classroom and
teaching experience.
• A focus on you, not the
students.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/apc33/2445600596/
19. Debrief sessions
• Designing sessions are
a process, not a product.
• Before
• What is our “CI” and our
“takeaway”?
• What learning styles are
we addressing?
• What problems can we
anticipate?
• After
• What worked? What
didn’t?
• What will I do differently?
• What will I do again?
