[Michlib-l] Technology & Trends Workshop: Jump-roping with the Standards Bearers

[Vanessa Morris]

Registration for MLA Technologies & Trends 2014 is still open--get the "early bird" rate until May 9!

MLA's 2014 Technology & Trends workshop will highlight new and useful library technologies in breakout sessions on a variety of topics. Whether you work in a public, academic, school or special library, you will learn practical applications of technology to aid you in your library work.

The MLA workgroup has put together a comprehensive schedule, including a session called "Jump-roping with the Standards Bearers: Using technology to assess authentic learning and applied mastery." Participants in this session will have the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of standards-based grading apps, such as Jumprope, to assess media literacy. 

The workshop will take place at the Kresge Library at Oakland University on Friday, May 16, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. More information and registration can be found on the MLA website at http://www.mla.lib.mi.us/events/workshops/tech

Hope to see you there,
