In the past three years, the Iowa City Public Library has tripled their patron involvement in technology classes taught by library staff, without increasing staff or budget. Technology is an ever changing landscape and classes are a great way to help patrons become savvier technology users. Learn how to grow interest in your library’s technology courses with strategies for assessment, marketing, and curriculum development.
Presenter: Jen Eilers, Library Assistant, Iowa City Public Library. Jen organizes and coordinates a team of librarians who teach 4-5 classes a month to adult learners. The classes focus on technology and information literacy skills for the Iowa City Community. She also staffs the information desk and problem solves various patron technology issues through the library's drop-in tech zone.
Design Thinking for the Masses: Creating a Culture of Empathy Across a Librar...Rebecca Blakiston
Design thinking puts users at the forefront. It encourages us to practice empathy, observe our surroundings, question assumptions, and identify big problems. It then asks us to prototype and iterate on solutions. Inspired by the power of these concepts, University of Arizona Libraries initiated a library-wide design thinking project. This inclusive, collaborative effort guided strategic initiatives and put user experience in the minds of library employees at all levels.
Presentation at Designing for Digital 2018 in Austin, Texas.

In my presentation for State Of The Map 2011 in Denver, I loosely connect three topics: the Warm Geography (expressed by Data Temperature) that makes OpenStreetMap unique; the challenge of converting sign-ups to contributors in what I call the First Mile, and finally how ideas from gaming can help meeting that challenge and preparing OpenStreetMap for 4 million contributors.
This was a presentation I gave to administrators and instructors at UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as they debated putting more courses online.
Facilitating in and with the Fully Online Learning Community (FOLC) Modelrolandv
Participants will explore how fully online facilitation assists learners in the construction of new
procedural and declarative knowledge.
Concepts discussed will include:
● Constructivism-informed Education Processes
● Reduction of transactional distance
● Collaborative processes
● Principles of PBL Online Facilitation (Savin-Baden, 2007)
Your Math Students: Engaging and Understanding Every DayDreamBox Learning
The most important and challenging aspect of daily planning is to regularly—and yes, that means every day—create, adapt, locate, and consider mathematical tasks that are appropriate to the developmental learning needs of each student. A concern Francis (Skip) Fennell often shares with teachers is that many of us can find or create a lot of “fun” tasks that are, for the most part, worthless in regards to learning mathematics. Mathematical
tasks should provide a level of demand on the part of the student that ensures a focus on understanding and involves them in actually doing mathematics.
To refresh our courses one first needs to pause and take stock
Our digital ecologies are changing because the way we are wanting to teach and examine is changing. Moving forward, we see L&T using new and more engaging forms of technology, designed to help our students not just learn disciplinary skills, but to find new ways of engaging with their peers. Improvement is a deliberate act that involves planning and execution. We need to find the new tools and techniques to help us with our teaching. We will look at some possible affordances you can enjoy when you are ready to pause and take stock.

A presentation to the English Australia Ed Tech Symposium - Plenary Address.
Abstract: Those institutions that have pivoted rapidly from teaching face-to face to teaching fully online have learned many lessons over the last 18 months, both good and bad. But for some, this has been nothing new, instead it’s simply been business as usual. We have seen that those who fared better have well established frameworks in place to mediate their technology-enhanced learning offerings. That is, they have recognised processes that define how they translate what they have in policy, procedures and planning into practice. Such a framework can be found within a number of quality tools, that are designed to provide institutions with clear guidelines as to what need to be in place to facilitate a robust and consistent approach to teaching with technology. Once present, it makes it easier to undertake online teaching that does more than just mimic face-to-face practice, providing a robust platform to allow innovative pedagogies to thrive. Typically, this means the online learning has, or can become far more, active, collaborative and authentic. This presentation with share some of the things that have been observed across the higher education sector over the last 18 moths that we can all learn from.
Identifying and changing key curriculum design practicesJisc
Examining the process of how institutions identify and then seek to change the curriculum design processes and practices. (This session complements the main conference session on curriculum design).

In the changing global times, the educators must adopt the blended learning approach and gain knowledge about the new tools and techniques so that they can help their learners acquire digital literacy and problem solving. The educators are expected to recognize individual differences and design personalized learning opportunities to encourage critical and creative thinking.

Is the question to flip or not? Or is the question - how do you provide quality learning experiences to maximise time? This presentation explores the whys and some hows of flipping learning. It also transfers this concept of a flipped classroom to a school library. Presented in 2013 at UQ Library cyberschool conference.
Information for teachers who are new to online. Features tips and best practices as well as useful links and videos. Information based on recent literature.
Numeracy Ultranet Spaces -Part1
Why would we look at Numeracy Spaces in the Ultranet? What are the benefits gained from such Spaces for planning our curriculum?
This session shows how PLTs can work together effectively to unpack exemplar Numeracy Spaces in the Ultranet identifying key elements that can be used as a springboard to support current curriculum foci.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

5. The New Digital Divide :
Information Fluency
• Those who know how "think" about search vs. those
who don't
• Those who know how to validate information vs. those
who don't
• Those who know where to find information – use PLNs
and be in control of their own learning – and those who
don’t
• Those who know how to get information to travel to
them vs. those who still chase it.
• Those who have the knowledge to create and re-mix
digital media and those who don't .
