NECC (without guilt), Fair Use, & the SmackdownJuly 1, 2009 I had no big choice to make this year. NECC and ALA did not overlap and the librarians who wanted to (or could afford to) do both, could.We mixed, we mingled, we shared. Over the next weeks I'll be posting way more about all I learned in DC. In this post I wanted to share the sessions I took part in. On Sunday, I presented an information-packed, media-rich session--Best Practices in Fair Use for K12 with Renee Hobbs and Michael RobbGrieco of Temple University, and CFF Coach, Kristin Hokanson. The wiki contains all of our slides and resources, as well as the CoveritLive chat. Make sure you take a look at the pdf form for reasoning fair use.  On Monday, Cathy Jo Nelson, Karen Kliegman, Wendy Stephens, and Keisa Williams, and I presented our interactive LibraryLearningTools Smackdown as a packed bring-your-own-laptop session. Bridget Belardi managed the backchannel. The move to smackdown format with backchannel was inspired at last year's NECC when David Loertscher shared with me how frustrating it was that we failed to tap the wisdom of our impressive crowd. He was, of course, right. What we really need are conversations. We needed to share.     So, during this session, panelists shared some fabulous tools for: 1. Reading promotion 2. Digital storytelling 3. Information fluency 4. Digital citizenship And the audience shared. We invited our audience to run up to the microphone and contribute their own favorites tools for those same learning categories. Though they got off to a slow and polite start, partly because of the logistics of our long tight tables, folks eventually got into our smackdown format. As a result, the wiki also contains some fabulous audience-submitted resources, as well as our chat stream, and ways to follow participants in Twitter. David helped us end the session with a powerful reflection on what we learned and would take away. Wonderful Paul functioned as our timing official. Look for additional smackdown sessions at ALA (Sunday 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM Web 2.0 Meets Standards for 21st Century Learners) and at AASL in November.

In response to: NECC (without guilt), Fair Use, & the Smackdown Peggy Creighton commented: Joyce, perhaps one way we can prevent the dissapointment of NECC sessions that are not worth sitting through (such as Doug Johnson referred to on his Blue Skunk blog) is to make them all more collaborative sharing sessions like yours, rather than continue to accept the sage on the stage format. What do you think?
