I will definitely try to make it! Some friends and I are hosting the first American Theological Library Association unconference as a day-long preconference at the ATLA conference in June. I’m excited but could use your advice!

Comment on Curating A New Learning Experience by Content Curation: Classroom Applications | Fusion Finds

[...] I see content curation as a way for students to develop various 21st century skills: locating, filtering, evaluating, and ranking content; organizing, sorting, and creating content. “…a learner that pulls in information from many different sources and media at once, reflects on the information, and then creates new content based on that information that is then shared with other learners in an interactive way that often allows those learners to also learn and create… It means using everything at your disposal to create something new in the discipline.” -A Wandering Eyre [...]

Using the very scientific method of rolling a die, I proclaim the winners to be Andrew, Dana, and Jason. I will be emailing you shortly.

I would love to attend an unconference on the undisclosed web in America. Just someone giving it like it is for the people no matter of the consequences. We do have good heroes like that who still exist.

I’ve been wanting to plan an unconference about live, online library instruction. Ideally, an online unconference, using a tool like Elluminate, to enable smaller groups to do more hands-on things as they discuss and demonstrate best practices on how to bring such hands-on activities in to their own instructional design.

I’d love to plan and attend an unconference focusing on library communication (marketing, outreach, advertising, publicity, PR, etc). I would also like to attend Robin’s unconference on assessment – you’re so right, they make assessment seem to stuffy at all of the formal presentations.

I’d love a copy! Last year I got to plan a regional unconference in the Mountain West, focused on issues for libraries in our region. We have a lot of rural libraries and outreach issues. It was a great way to get together and share what we do and learn from one another. I hope to do it again soon!

I would love to attend an unconference on learning outcomes assessment–it’s such a stuffy topic and every time I attend a conference session, or whole conference, on assessment I’m disappointed because it’s always centered on the speaker and his/her accomplishments. I feel like an unconference environment could foster genuine problem solving by allowing diverse professionals to design research projects that actually tackle an assessment need.

Well…I’ve already done an unconference on Interlibrary Loan so…I’d probably do an unconference on training library faculty/staff. How to get a program started, what would you include, what its like to sit on either side of the table, etc, etc. Those would just be some suggestions of topics that could be interesting.
