The Nebraska Learns 2.0 Thing for March is QR Codes.
For this month’s Thing, we’re going to explore QR Codes, those square barcodes that you can scan with your mobile phone. QR codes are useful IF your library patrons know what to do with them and if your staff knows how to generate them to connect your physical and online spaces.
Another facet of Nebraska Learns 2.0 is BookThing. Each month we pick a single title that we feel has relevance to librarianship and/or information theory. Some of the titles will be very obviously related, while others may not seem so on the surface but there is a connection. Your assignment will be to read the book and create a blog post answering some questions about the title.
The BookThing for March is Cyberbooks by Ben Bova.
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.
If you are new to Nebraska Learns 2.0, your first assignment is to
sign up to participate. 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!
