After class today, Lisa and I worked on our Inquiry project: TLs helping teachers with Inquiry. Because of the nature of Inquiry, we felt it would be appropriate to ‘collaborate’ using one of the online tools we have been learning about in class. <\/p>\n

We reviewed Storify (great to gather info but hard to organize), Mind Meister (collaborative, but visually limited), Pearltrees (collaborative, but can become ‘busy’ with the many links), and Popplet (nice clean look, but limited ability to include data). I will continue to add links to my Mindmeister map for now, but I may rethink this over the next few days…<\/p>\n

Lisa and I then shared our progress on upcoming assignments. We compared notes on book selection, email and online tools. We got to know each other a little better and brainstormed about the need for a collaborative Teacher Librarian online space. I remembered a space I had used earlier in the year, Yammer<\/a>, and showed Lisa my own district TL space. Lisa showed me her (First Class?) space which looked great, but her district’s website is undergoing a change and it may no longer be available. I advocated for Yammer as being a safe, intuitive way to collaborate professionally in a fairly organized space, and suggested we invite her to my group. But first, Lisa searched for her district, and presto – she found a couple members, her district Tech team! She then signed up for her district’s group. This may be a provincial wide network, but it is so new, that Lisa is only the third member of her district to join! Since Lisa and I operate in different areas of the province, we thought it would be really ‘smart’ to find\/create an open space for all BCTLs so we created a general Teacher Librarian group: BCTLs. I wonder if Yammer is used province wide, and if other members of this class have created TL groups for their district?<\/p>\n

Connection to today’s class discussion:
\nInteresting to note, it was our engagement with our environment (working on tasks), modifications to the environment (technological pathways to seek a better fit), and communication (collaborating with each other) that allowed us to progress through the task and come to a higher level of understanding of our task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
