Tried listening to Dry by Shusterman. Had to stop because too real.

@veschwab Just finished Good and Mad by Traister. Highly recommend.

@Library_Lindley @AlexaCarlson11 So true!

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

@stephsibicky @assurantVPS You have to know about the tools in order to take advantage of them! As I and others said, guidance for new ways of using old tech #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

@Library_Lindley Thanks! A 3D printer and scanner, redording studio, demonstration kitchen, plus things like legos, littleBits, button maker, etc. #edu6323

All well and good if he can get a job in video game programming. Not so much if he can’t. #edu6323

I liked the Wesch video, but agree with others that the student’s choices were a problem. #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

I’m not always great at networking since I hate small talk, but library social media is robust and that’s where I have my PLN #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

And many libraries are on point with ed trends trying to move from info repository to info creation #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

Space, top of the line and up-to-date equipment, staff, etc. can be impossible to maintain when library’s budgets are so skinny #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

Libraries have been adding makerspaces for years. My last job they were talking about 1 but didn’t know if they had a room for it #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

So I started a new job on Tuesday. And I now work in a library with a Makerspace, so the forecast was interesting to explore #edu6323

@DaliaG_NEU Replacing equipment so you have the newest stuff every couple years is part of what makes them expensive. #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

@DaliaG_NEU Depends on how high tech you go. Libraries have them with sewing machines, microphones and Macs for higher quality editing #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

@jbreault712 @DaliaG_NEU Friend of mine dropped out of college because of WoW #edu6323

@Library_Lindley @AlexaCarlson11 Second languages are hard. And having time to think about and write an answer is easier for many. That’s how French is for me #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

@assurantVPS @Library_Lindley @bwatwood You need to see librarians at pub quiz type events! #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

@AlexaCarlson11 Seems like everyone answers a poll. Especially if you wait until 90-100% of students have submitted. #edu6323

[Emilyn @therealemilyn]

@DaliaG_NEU And immediate feedback! #edu6323
