Glen Warren of the OCDE and Jackie Siminitus of CSLA have asked school librarians to spread the word on the new Library Live videoconference workshops that will be offered one Thursday each month beginning August 27th... 3pm to 3:30pm Pacific (Cali) time.
Here is the announcement from CALIB - our CA librarian's LISTSERV:
"Mark your calendars! Here's some great news about a monthly School Library broadcast, starting the last Thursday in August and throughout the 2009-2010 school year. See Orange County Department of Education Library Media Coordinator Glen Warren's announcement below about "Library LIVE!"
Be sure to spread the word. Blog and send a "tweet" about the news. This is not just for teacher librarians. It is for everyone at your library, school, district, or county. Glen will also be at the CSLA Conference with his videoconferencing camera crew, so plan to be a part of this excellent effort to raise the visibility of strong school libraries, teacher librarians, technology, curriculum connections, and more!

Beginning August 2009, on the Last Thursday of Each Month
Orange County Department of Education, based in southern California, will host a monthly live INTERACTIVE broadcast of Library LIVE!
Each show targets school librarians, media specialist, and technologists across the country, featuring news about the triumphs and challenges facing the 21st century community.
The Framework of the broadcast will include four spheres of influence within education:
1. Community (educational partners)
2. Curriculum (resources and best practices)
3. Legislation (state and national policy )
4. Technology (technology trends and innovations)
Each show will feature at least one interview, with QA time.
And it's FREE.
You can connect TWO ways to the broadcast:
1. Through live web streaming AND/OR
2. through a video conferencing unit (e.g., Polycom or Tandberg).
The video streaming chat feature allows live interactive chat through most district firewalls.
Each broadcast will have its own unique URL link (for web streaming) and IP Address (for videoconferencing). If you would like to be a part of the Library LIVE! experience and receive up to date program information then please sign up at the below link:
If you have any questions and/or programming ideas, please contact Glen Warren at: gwarren@ocde.us "
So, I hope school librarians will jump on board for these broadcasts. I have already participated in one, and I am sure they will provide timely and informative content for all school librarians.
