In the spirit of increasing our technology competencies across Neighborhood Libraries, we’ll be starting a new blog to talk about tech issues and trends. This will be a place to talk about what you’re learning, what you’d like to know more about, and what is frustrating or exciting you when it comes to technology, serving patron needs through technology, or trends you’re noticing. Like our other team events, participation is strictly voluntary. And like our other team events, there will be prizes! We’re calling our blog Tech Talk. Hope you like it!
Here’s what you need to know:
· Jenny P will give you access to the blog, notification of which you will get through email. Once you have access, the game is on. You will have to find your way to Tech Talk and get started on your own or with the help of a techie at your site.
· Officially starts March 1st but if you want to start earlier, that would be great too
· Post a tech learning or tip and contribute to discussions by remarking on other people’s comments as well
· Each month, Jenny P, Lori G and I will choose a NL Techie of the Month based on random criteria. We might like someone’s comments on another’s post. We might like the tech idea presented. We might like the discussion generated by a particular post. You’ll never know what makes a winner, so keep it interesting with great posts on new tech discoveries you make and commenting on the discoveries of others.
· The Techie of the Month gets more than a title! There is also a $10 Amazon.com gift card at stake as well as notice of your accomplishment on the NL staffnet page.
· Supervisors will also be participating as they have goals to reach around technology to meet too.
· Our plan is to keep this going throughout 2011. We want our excitement about technology and helping each other learn to be ongoing.
The above is from an annoucement via email from Donna
