Nebraska Learns 2.0: Free Play & The Shallows

Nebraska Learns 2.0 is the Nebraska Library Commission’s ongoing online learning program. It is a self-discovery program which encourages participants to take control of their own learning and to utilize their lifelong learning skills through exploration and PLAY. Each month, we offer you an opportunity to learn a new Thing (or lesson). You have all month to complete that Thing and receive one CE credit. You may choose which Things to do based on personal interest and time availability If the Thing of the month doesn’t interest you or if you are particularly busy that month, you can skip it. * The Thing for May is: Free Play Pick a technology tool that you already use but we haven’t covered in the previous 54 Things. I’m sure you’re using a mobile app or online tool that we at least haven’t already discussed. Better yet, I’m sure some of you are using tools that we’ve never even heard of. * The BookThing for May is: “The Shallows” by Nicholas Carr If you are new to Nebraska Learns 2.0, your first assignment is to sign up to participate at: http://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/nelearns/sign-up-2/  This program is open to ALL Nebraska librarians, library staff, library friends, library board members and school media specialists. We hope you’ll join your library colleagues in the fun as you learn about new and exciting technologies!
