The second of three Library 2.016 online mini-conferences is coming up on
Wednesday, June 15, 2016. The conference discussion will center on the theme
of the Library as Classroom <http://www.library20.com/classroom> , with both
keynote sessions <http://www.library20.com/classroom>  and crowd-sourced
presentations
<http://www.library20.com/forum/categories/library-2-016-classroom-accepted-
proposals/listForCategory> . There's still time to submit a presentation
proposal <http://www.library20.com/page/call-for-proposals>  and share your
experiences with your peers from around the world. 

 

For example, Tasha Squires, a learning resource center teacher at a middle
school library near Chicago, Illinois, will be talking about an
award-winning gamification program
<http://www.library20.com/forum/topics/engagement-through-gamificiation-gett
ing-students-to-do-anything>  she designed and implemented to increase
student interaction beyond the classroom. The competitive library game
resulted in no summer slide.

 

How are you using the library as a creative classroom full of discovery and
exploration? Lorette McWilliams and M. Elena Lopez of the Harvard Family
Research Project will highlight creative ways to use library assets for
family educational engagement based on the results of a 2016 national survey
of nearly 500 urban, suburban, and rural libraries. You can read their
proposal
<http://www.library20.com/forum/topics/beyond-the-library-as-classroom-two-g
eneration-and-family>  and other accepted proposals
<http://www.library20.com/forum/categories/library-2-016-classroom-accepted-
proposals/listForCategory>  on the conference website.
