Wallwisher.com: Words that stick - 0 views

  •  
    This site would be a great tool to use in the classroom (or in a library). A "wallwisher" wall allows everyone to communicate on a "wall" answering a question you have posed. Using sticky notes, those in the class answer on the virtual/visual wall. The wall I built asked the question, "what are you reading and what do you like about it so far?" Students can answer with both words and images. Therefore, it is my hope students will upload a picture of the book cover and give a quick review of the book based on what they have read so far. You can design the color/design of the wall. I found this tool to be lots of fun and it could be used in many ways in a classroom or library. Wallwisher could definitely be used to inspire collaboration and communication.

Library Professional Development - 0 views

  •  
    This blog was started by a staff devleopment team at Austin Community College. It would be a great place for librarians to find professional development opportunities specific to libraries. The site offers information on webinar dates, library-related conferences, e-learning, etc. It is a site I want to return to so I can explore free professional devleopment opportunities for librarians!

Creative Commons Search - 0 views

  •  
    This site allows you to search for copyright friendly images. This site helps you to understand what type of copyright license the image exists under and how you can use it. The site allows you to explore through different tabs (Google Web, Flickr, Yahoo, etc.). My favorite is Flickr because of the images and the easy-to-understand copyright symbols and explanations.
