Presentations

A collection of the presentations I have done for my work colleagues and for conferences, both face-to-face and virtual, and webinars too.

2016

July 2016: ASLA Webinar: LibGuides

Marty Marshman, another ASLA Board Director, and I created this presentation to demonstrate the value of LibGuides as a tool for school libraries. We showed the different ways we use LibGuides in our very different schools, and discussed the reasoning behind our respective design choices

 

May 2016: ASLA Tasmania mini-conference “School Libraries – Get Inspired!”

As part of my role on the mini-conference committee, I created this simple Google site.
Katie Stanley and Catherine Duffett (of The Friends School) and I collaborated on this presentation. We each did the Copyright4Educators course and leveraged that professional learning to share with the teacher librarians, librarians, library technicians and library assistants who attended the mini-conference. We received a lot of positive feedback on our presentation, which was very encouraging.

Knowing Me, Knowing You

This presentation to school library staff attendees at the ASLA Tasmania mini-conference in 2014 was designed to encourage people to use social media to “keep up with the Joneses”. It was very well-received, with a lot of positive feedback on the value and relevance of the content for participants.
