Thursday@3@Addlestone

Workshops Introducing Practical, Useful and Free Web 2.0 Tools for Personal Productivity and Collaborative Learning.

Addlestone Library's Thursday@3 sessions bring workshops to the College of Charleston campus community showcasing the newest technology and how it can enhance teaching and academic life.

Our semester-long series of workshops focus on enhancing our patrons' working knowledge of digital information literacy and its impact on learning, teaching, and research. Information Literacy is defined as the lifelong ability to recognize the need to locate, evaluate and effectively use information (American Library Association, 2006). Digital information literacy is one aspect of this and very relevant for the 21st Century.

Each hour and a half session offers insight into these areas by way of explanation of concepts, demonstration of specific tools, and practical use as supported by best practices and successful application.

Topics for the sessions include blogs, wikis, social networks, social bookmarking tools, podcasts, RSS, micro-blogging, photo sharing and video-sharing sites. These tools and resources offer new, accessible and flexible ways to learn, teach, and interact socially anywhere, anytime.

If you would like to pre-register for a session please fill out the registration form. We will send you a registration confirmation via email within 48 hours of the scheduled workshop.

If you have any questions please send an email to thurs3@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday at 3:00 at Addlestone.
