Today’s workshop is being held at the foothills of the Rockies, in Centennial, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. The audience will be technology educators, library media specialists, and administrators, and the topics will be varied. The basic themes be a deep look at our children this morning, and the teacher information skills this afternoon.My goal is to explore literacy first thing, with an emphasis on the contemporary literacy skills that we need to be integrating into our classroom.
Also, during the morning, we’ll examine our kids and their information environment. We’ll be looking at their tools and what they do with them, and the main thrust of this section will be our figuring out ways to to leverage these tools and their environment.
This afternoon, we will look at skills for using digital information. Here we will touch on digital video production and editing, still image editing, audio editing (We’ll produce a podcast) and a healthy dose of the New Shape of Information (Web 2.0).
I’m also planning to designate some official note takers. Their community wiki notes will be available to all participants.
