Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

Are you seeking to revamp, revitalize, and reinvigorate the library media program in your school? Join David Loertscher, nationally renowned Learning Commons guru, for an overview of the Library Learning Commons pedagogy and for conversations with school and district leaders around maximizing the potential and leveraging the assets of your school library. Loertscher has written and presented widely about the concept as a collaborative physical and virtual environment that invites and ignites participatory learning through attention to thoughtful instructional design, delivery and assessment in combination with curated resources and technologies. The development of individual expertise and collaborative knowledge is fostered through this transparent, barrier-free, personalized and innovative approach and transforms teaching and learning into an interactive experience which expands opportunities and delivers dividends through authentic and effective educational activities for all learners. Light refreshments are served during this workshop. This workshop is offered ONLY in the BYOD (bring your own device per the requirements listed) format.
