Leading from the Library: Webinar Series


Across the Leading from the Library series, we’ll explore a range of opportunities and challenges for librarians who are leading or hoping to lead digital literacy initiatives, including how to get started, partnering with learner-leaders, identifying partners, and more. Among the questions we will explore together are: What unique ‘flavors’ do libraries bring to digital and media literacy learning? What creative solutions are librarians exploring to engage learners? And (how) is AI shaping the conversation about literacy in libraries? 
 

 

Structure: Webinars will last 1 hour with the standard structure as follows:

  • A 3-5 minute introduction to speaker by a member of our team (who will also be available to facilitate the remainder of the meeting so the speaker may focus on presenting or the discussion)
  • 20-30 minutes for speaker to present on the topic
  • 20 minutes for participants to join breakout rooms to delve into guiding questions and/or specific aspects of the topic
  • 10-20 minutes for everyone to come back to the main room to share their thoughts, ask questions, and wrap up the session
