Walking around VancouverI presented Go Go Gadget!?! Technology, Trends, and Children’s Services at the Canadian Library Association’s annual conference (link goes to the pdf version of my slides).

What a blast! Vancouver is a fun city to explore, and the people who attended my session were great – lots of good questions and interaction.

Youth, kids, teens, and 2.0 stuff – amazing area to explore. Did you know there are elementary school classes that blog? They assign one child as the “reporter of the day” – that kid takes photos and blogs the entire day’s events for that class. What a cool way to learn writing, blogging, photography, and 2.0 technology!

Managers Pay Attention – a talk at MLA2008

by David Lee King on July 22, 2008

managers pay attention!I’ve been a bit slow to post some recent presentations (and people have been asking me to post them), so… here’s the first one.

I gave a talk in May at the Massachusetts Library Association’s annual conference titled Managers Pay Attention! Why Social Networking and Web 2.0 is Important for your Library (link goes to the pdf version of my slides). It was a fun talk (and a newer one for me, which is always fun, too).
