Continuing Education

Kim will be attending Computer in Libraries next week. To see what’s being offered at the conference, visit http://www.infotoday.com/cil2007/. Although she'll not be blogging this conference, the information will be used in the continuing development of our continuing education plans for next fiscal year. The hope is to focus on both technology issues and youth services issues (and places where those two things intersect!)

...Both Katie and Kim have also begun their certification series to become Certified Synchronous Learning Experts. (In English, that means they're training to become online learning instructors.) Next year they hope to facilitate meetings, group discussion and CE opportunities online in addition to in-person opportunities in order to bring the training straight to you! (This way you can take a class at your desk or at a nearby computer lab.) And if this sounds too new and complicated, have no worries - they'll be providing training on using the tools this fall to make sure you're comfortable in the new classroom!
