Coach Dan's Blog: Journal - A Room Full of Librarians

http://coachdansblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/link-to-other-blog-httpvcsumusichistory.html

Monday, June 29, 2009. Journal - A Room Full of Librarians. This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of serving as the keynote speaker for the Kip Gamber Technology Seminar of the 2009 VCSU MSLIS Summer Institute. "Web 2.0, Lucy Liu, and You" was a fairly casual (and I hope, well received) conversation about some of the challenges (specifically Literacy, Immediacy, and Ubiquity) facing educators as they delve into the 'Brave New World' of teaching in the Blogosphere. Copies of the slides can be found here.

Monday, June 29, 2009. Thought - The Discussion Board is Dead, but Was it Ever Viable? It is clear to me that the Discussion Board as a crucible of learning in the online environment is as beaten as Mongo's horse. If you like, you can read a rant about it here.

Monday, July 6, 2009. Journal - One Man's Trash. One of the hidden benefits of working in higher education are the ‘free books’ tables located in nearly every department. Those of you who know me well know I love to read books that libraries (and departments) are culling from their collections.
