<br>
School leaders are accustomed to working hard to make curricula challenging and engaging and to make sure it meets state standards. And many educators are now becoming more skilled at using technology in their classrooms, whether it’s laptops, digital whiteboards,
or smartphones. But experts say that to get the best results for students, it’s important to be deliberate and thoughtful in the way technology is incorporated into curricula. Just layering technology on top of an already existing curriculum is often not the
best way to enhance the learning process and maximize the effectiveness of the technology tools available. School and district technology leaders and curriculum experts must work together to find the best way to integrate technology into teaching and learning
in order to develop the most innovative and successful methods for delivering curricula to students.<br>

Engaging Volunteers During Difficult Economic Times (Infopeople)<br>
<br>
With service levels at all time highs and funding elusive to meet the demand for service, many libraries are engaging volunteers more proactively or even for the first time. Involving volunteers in delivering library services can be rewarding, challenging,
yet also time intensive. And, while volunteers may offer their services for free, there are still costs that need to be considered when planning a volunteer program. If you have been given the assignment of coordinating volunteers at your library, this webinar
will give you insights into how to work effectively with volunteers and facilitate their interaction with paid staff.<br>

<br>
With libraries providing more computing access to patrons, it is important to know how to use and be able to share the free tools that are available on the Internet. Google offers Google Docs, which is their on-line form of documents, spreadsheets, presentations,
forms, drawings, and tables. Google Docs allows you to store many different types of files and only those not created in Google Docs count against your storage space. Any time you have access to the Internet you have access to Google Docs. The user has the
option to keep the documents private to his account or to share them. Each document and each folder can be shared with specific people or it can be made public for anyone to view. This makes it easy for people to collaborate on a project as well as share
information.<br>

their experiences using interviews as a research method to determine how to best meet the needs of their respective communities (public and special libraries). If you’ve interviewed your patrons or used other methods to assess the needs of your community,
we hope you will join us to share your experiences and tips. If you haven’t, this will be a great opportunity to learn about these techniques and to brainstorm about how you can apply them in your library.<br>

The Progress Principle: Sparking Employee Engagement and Performance (American Management Association)<br>
<br>
Leaders face a formidable challenge in keeping employees engaged in their work—deeply involved and fully committed. Traditional motivators, like incentive systems, can get people to show up and do the work. But it takes something more to spark the passion that
leads to the highest levels of creative productivity. This webcast unravels the secrets of inner work life—the usually hidden emotions, perceptions, and motivations that arise as people react to events in their work day. You’ll discover how what you say and
do every day can drive positive inner work life throughout your organization and fuel great performance for the long term. In addition, you find out ways to avoid the traps that can undermine inner work life and performance. Join us as we delve into the real-life
diaries of people doing innovative work, to explore how small steps can lead to superior long-term performance. While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required.<br>

Many experts believe that technology is influencing the ways we seek information, engage with others, and learn. If so, how does this affect our teaching and learning practices? What changes might make sense? Our thesis is that our technologies reflect and
align with the ways we engage with others and learn. Thus, understanding learning sciences research can help us use technology to enhance our practice. Jane Harris and Pamela Howe, University of North Carolina at Greensboro will share examples from the research
and a variety of available multimedia learning environments. Attendees will engage in discussions about potential strategies and challenges.<br>

If you’ve been doing the same thing and not getting anywhere, listen to this webcast for new techniques that tap into the human psyche. Because understanding the root reasons of human behavior allows you to make different choices about how you manage and what
kind of results you get. Thought, behavior, personality — all three affect everything from having a preference for a particular employee to how often you voice your opinions in a group. In this webcast, Dr. Ted Boyce will give you a quick overview of three
major schools of psychology—behavioral, cognitive and social — and give you insights into each one. So you can heighten your self-awareness and increase your effectiveness as a manager. While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Retail establishments such as bookstores, coffee shops, information services, computing services, and purveyors of e-readers are all encroaching on the library’s core user base by replicating services traditionally associated with libraries.
They really know what they’re doing, and we can, too! Consumer research has shown repeatedly that understanding user needs and cultivating good customer relationships is key to the success of the modern organization. Creating a customer-focused library enables
staff to know their users and meet their needs. A customer-focused library means more users, engaged staff, and a satisfying relationship with your community.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This one-hour webinar will present exciting success stories of customer-focused libraries, and will give participants strategies to shift their own libraries to a customer focus. This webinar will be of interest to staff in all types of
libraries, especially front-desk staff.<br>

Truth About Social Learning (InSync Training)<br>
<br>
"Social learning" and "informal learning" are among the training industry's hottest phrases these days. But there's so much confusion over what they mean, and what they mean to those of us in the business. A few truths: • Social learning isn't new. • Social
learning isn't necessarily ‘managed', ‘launched', ‘controlled', or ‘measured'. • People in the workplace are learning all the time - without us. • Those people likely don't think of what they're doing as "learning". In this session we'll spend some time looking
at real examples of social and informal learning as it happens in workplaces all the time, every day. Along the way we'll generate some ideas for locating, supporting and facilitating social learning opportunities toward the greater goal of enhancing organizational
performance. <br>

<br>
With more tools widely available for patrons to use to create their own content, libraries have a chance to transform from institutions that are only about borrowing to institutions about experiences. Instead of just merely collecting “stuff” and lending it
out to patrons, more and more libraries are encouraging their patrons to “make something” at the library. Whether it be the hackerspace at the Fayetteville Free Library, the YOUMedia lab at the Chicago Public Library, libraries are offering more programs to
encourage their patrons to be prosumers instead of just simply consumers. In this webinar, Justin Hoenke (Teen Librarian, Portland (Maine) Public Library) will discuss the current trend of content creation at libraries. <br>

Introduction to Corporate Giving (Grantspace)<br>
<br>
Explore the world of corporate support and tools and resources on corporate giving. Join us for an introduction to the world of corporate support for nonprofits and funding research tools to help you identify corporate prospects. We'll answer such questions
as: What are the motivations behind corporate giving? What is the difference between a direct corporate giving program and a company-sponsored foundation and how does it affect my approach to research? What are the different pathways to partnership with a
company? We will include a case study illustrating a corporate-nonprofit partnership. Prior attendance at Grantseeking Basics is strongly recommended.<br>

Location, Social and Mobile (O’Reilly)<br>
<br>
Think back 10 to 15 years ago, there was probably a kid in your neighborhood that you could pay a couple bucks to wash your car or mow your lawn. We've lost that sense of community over the years because the age of the internet has siloed us. With the social
networking in full force, that is changing. Social, location, and mobile technologies are creating a meaningful foundation to connect a neighborhood both on and offline. Technology has finally caught up to human behavior, and we are able to use the internet
to get off the internet and build a strong community together. In this webcast presentation Leah Busque will highlight how these technology trends are paving the way for new marketplace businesses and why they are so important to the success of these models.<br>
