Checklist Item #10: Webinar

On October 22, 2014 from 8:00-8:30 I attended the webinar hosted by ISTE Librarian Network and Diana Rendina. She discussed the maker space she created within the media center. Followers on Twitter were able to use the hashtag #ISTElib to share their thoughts and questions as she provided photos and details about the experiment. I was most interested by the LEGO wall she created in one area of the library. Both elementary and middle school students at my school enjoy talking about LEGOs, reading about them, and building similar projects either online or during clubs. I mentioned to admin after attending this webinar that I thought it would be exciting to try this out in our library. She loved the idea and is looking to where / how we could do it. I think it'd be a wonderful, engaging way to show students that the media center is more than just a place of books, but also a place to create and explore.
