Librarian+Days+2007

**Welcome to the Wikis, Podcasts and Blogs Workshop for AAM-CO Librarian Day 2007! **
Wikis, podcasts, and blogs – these are novel words that represent innovative technologies that are transforming the way people communicate in the digital world. But what do these new technologies mean for you – the K-12 educator? Are they to be avoided or would they be worthwhile additions to your classroom?

In this workshop, AAM-CO staff members Taylor Kendal and Diane Watkins will be providing an introduction to wikis, podcasts, and blogs by showing examples of how several K-12 educators are using these new technologies to enhance their students’ learning experiences as well as their own teaching experiences.

Participants of this workshop will also have the opportunity to use a blog to analyze and discuss a primary source from the Library of Congress website, further the analysis by contributing to a wiki, and create a podcast about their experiences during Librarian Day 2007.

Please join us for this hands-on workshop that can help you transform your classroom into a 21st century learning environment.
