Library Learning 2.1

Library Learning 2.1 Kicks Off!

January 14, 2008

Today kicks off our second week of Library Learning 2.1. Robin already wrote a great post about our kick off week, so I wont duplicate it by writing one here. But I did get some great feed back that I want to share. They love the “bit size” lessons “I did the first lesson – short and sweet. Perfect!” They’re thrilled that these lessons can also be used by patrons. If they get questions about any of the topics they have a resource they can point them to. They are just exited to be learning! “Sounds interesting. I’m looking forward to what you and Robin come up with this year. “ Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Share on netvibes share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Buzz it up Subscribe to the comments on this post Print for later Tell a friend

Get Your Geek On

Get Your Geek On

Ok sometimes my geekiness surprises even me. Most of the big decisions for LL2.1 have been made for a while now, the prizes were agreed upon, lessons have been written (just not posted), I’m just waiting for the kick off. I have spent countless hours brain storming, thinking up plans and incentives, writing lessons, talking to staff, talking to my boss, antagonizing over why people didn’t participate last time and will they participate this time? So the last couple of weeks, kinda blah. But today, today it all pays off. The first lesson is Monday but today I sent my first staff email officially announcing the plan and kicking off the blog. I already have two comments. TWO! Remember we have less than 60 people working at the library so two on the first day is a lot. Even better, these commenters, they’re excited! Oh my! I hope we can live up to their expectations!

LL2.1 Staff Grand Prize

It looks like we’re going to be able to offer a Grand Prize for LL2.1. Everyone who completes all the lessons will have their name put in the drawing. As of right now this is the digital camera I’ve selected. Of course technology changes fast so it may be a different one by the time we do the drawing.

The Search for Prizes

The Search for Prizes

In addition to writing “Things” for the LL2.1 program, I’m searching for prizes. Since the program is different this time I think we’ll be structuring the prizes so that for every 5 or 10 lessons completed they’ll get a small prize, with a larger prize at the end. Smaller prizes will probably be fun things like desk toys candy, flash drive, etc. The nice thing about a small library is I know most of the staff so we can make sure they get something they’ll like or use. I asked the staff for suggestions for the large prize last week, a couple of people suggested another MP3 player, and one a suggested a small digital camera. So far I haven’t found an affordable digital camera, but I’m leaning towards the Creative Stone Plus for the MP3 player. I’ve had really good experiences with Creative’s products and it will work with our Downloadable Audiobooks. What do you think? Any suggestions or ideas?
