A note from David Loertscher below.


> Subject: The Virtual Learning Commons Workshops
> 
> I am announcing a series of workshops that folks might be interested in attending and advertising to others.  Here is the announcement.  I will also be announcing a call for papers for Tres. Mt. 18 to be held Nov 13-14 in Hartford CT shortly.  Here is the workshop announcement:
> 
> For the past three years, my students, leaders across Canada, and I have been developing the Virtual Learning Commons as a replacement for the school library website. This is a giant collaborative that places the school library at the heart of teaching and learning in the school.
> 
> I will be conducting a series of three free workshops that will enable you to experiment with and create a VLC for your school. And, you will have something to showcase for Digital Learning Day in Feb.
> 
> The  three  ninety minutes sessions will be Jan. 14, 21, and Feb. 4th at five pm Pacific/eight pm eastern on each of the Monday evenings.
> 
> Objective: To create a collaborative virtual learning commons that replaces the school library website. The site will contain five major  virtual rooms: 
> The Information Center, 
> The Literacy Center, 
> the Knowledge Building Center, 
> The Experimental Learning Center, and 
> School Culture. 
> 
> We will focus on using Google Sites as the construction tool, but other software can be used. Participants will  construct either a sandbox prototype or a real VLC for their school. Opportunities to collaborate across participants will be the focus.
> 
> To sign up, just send an email to me at: reader.daivd at gmail.com
> 
> And, I would appreciate it if you would announce this across whatever state networks you have access to.
> 
> The website for the series is building at: https://sites.google.com/site/virtuallearningcommonsworkshop/
> 
> Please join us.
