My Podcast

I just looked through my archives, and I have neglected to post my podcast. For those of you who are interested in how instructional designers and librarians are similiar, this is a very short answer to that question.

My E-portfolio

I am busy working on the final project for my graduate class in instructional technology. It isn't finished as of today, so you will have to check back later to see the final product.

My colleague and I have chosen to use wetpaint for our blog about instructional design and library and technology issues. We have been so busy with our regular jobs and our class work that we have not started much yet. Hopefully, we will have time this week.

Designer and Librarian Collaboratory

Library-2-LMS conference

The conference was a success! We had over 130 people here at Brockport for one keynote session, 9 workshops, and 13 poster presentations. Honestly, I was so consumed with the details that I didn't get to attend a session in its entirety, but we will have reports from the moderators for each of the sessions. The attendees asked if we are going to do it again next year!

Conference

My big conference is almost here! We are hosting a conference about integrating library services into learning management systems. While mostly librarians will be attending we do have some instructional technology folks coming as well. I want to learn more about instructional design so we can be more effective in the materials we create, whether it be webpages or online tutorials.

Technology... when and when not to use, that is the question

My colleague passed this quote along to me, and I really liked it:

"Technology does not necessarily improve education. Take a simple innovation like the pencil: One can use it to write a superlative essay, to drum away the time, or to poke out someone's eye." (Veenema & Gardner, 1996)

Food for thought!
