An Open Online Forum to share inspiration,
ideas, and practical pointers.
This online open forum will be facilitated by Marika Simon, SLANSW Riverina Regional Representative and Course Director for the Master of Education (Teacher Librarianship) Course at Charles Sturt University. We are looking for presenters from a variety of library services to share how they use the school library to build community. This could involve building community within the school as well as between the school and the local neighbourhood. Think of clubs, extra-curricular activities and events; activities targeting small, select audiences or ones involving the whole school and beyond.
The Open Online Forum format involves participants as presenters. As a participant, it is not compulsory to be a presenter; however, we do encourage participants who are not presenting to also share their ideas in the chat as people talk to their slide. This will provide a rich text-based record of all ideas shared throughout the session on how school libraries and teacher librarians are connecting with other libraries.
How do I contribute as a presenter?
It’s easy. Just email a PowerPoint slide file (including Library Partnerships as the heading in the subject of your email) to info@slansw.net.au by 5pm on Monday 13th October. Please set your slide size to Widescreen 16:9 and include your name in the bottom right corner of the slide. Please note an effective slide will include a heading that reflects the nature of your idea, and no more than 2—3 bullet points using large font, supported by one or more images. Depending on the number of presenters, we will be allowing between 3 – 5 minutes of presentation time per presenter. Here is an example:
Add your piece to the puzzle!
Prior to the event all contributors will be contacted by a member of the Professional Learning Group to confirm the speaking order of presenters and the time allocated for your presentation.
How do I participate?
All participants must register their attendance.
