New Ideas

I am at the Minnesota Library Association conference in Mankato this week. Lots of new ideas--people are fascinated by the 23+1 Things and the MILI project overall. Lots of opportunities to talk about it.

I went to 2 presentations on Web 2.0 tools. Both were good, but the one on Wikis was especially helpful. I plan to do an afterschool meeting on Wikis, but in the meantime, check out this site. Joyce Yukawa teaches at St. Kate's in the library science program. She put this together as a resource for her talk today. It is full of resources, examples, and more for anyone interested in setting up a wiki. She has created a fictional library (Heavenly County Library) to show how a library could use a wiki as its Web presence but all the info is applicable to teachers and LMS, too.
