Dividing the workshop into three parts worked well. While there was carryover between the sessions, each session was an entity. There was closure for each session. If you were unable to make all three sessions, one still came away with knowledge and practice on specific types of tech. The mix of discussion, previews of what’s out there, how-tos, and hands-on time was ideal and very valuble. I’m not a laser fast learner, but the pace allowed me to learn, practice and revisit later. The success of the workshop was due to the facilitator. Randy is excellent. He provides info, resources, know how, and most importantly the climate to experiment and share.
I think I will pursue a library blog for students. Although it sounds like the same old, same old, the blog will focus on book discussions. Per a chat with Randy, student input will be used to help design it. I will begin this year, so there will be carryover for next year. I will need help designing the blog.
