Hello!
I cannot remember a time in my career when so much was changing so quickly--DDMs, SMART goals, RETELL, Common Core, PARCC, and all the associated tech roll outs. And we're attending to all this while trying to set up Learning Commons, genre-fying collections, keep abreast of new literature, and mastering the newest ipad apps. And some of us are working toward an ITS certification too.
No wonder we feel overwhelmed at times.
MSLA thought about how to best address ALL these issues and we decided that an Unconference was probably the best place to start important conversations about how we're managing all this.
If you've not been to an Unconference, here's your chance to try it out. Join us at Westborough HS on August 21 for a day of librarians sharing with other librarians. For more information, go
to the event website here--and register while you're there!
Hope to see you on August 21!
