WebJunction

Pennsylvania librarians may register at WebJunction Pennsylvania, a service provided by Access Pennsylvania, to register for free library trainings for which Act 48 continuing education credits are available.  The URL is http://pa.webjunction.org/.  I've just finished two of their self-paced courses, "Leadership Essentials 2: Communicating Vision" and "Directors ASK! (LibraryU)", each of which granted 1 hour of Act 48 credit.  My next selection will be "Copyright Issues in the Classroom and School Library (LEAD)".
Our district hosted a training session in LibGuides recently, so our librarians and others in neighboring areas could obtain a free year's subscription the the PA LibGuides curation pages for public and school librarians. My cohort librarian and I have made a CASD Faculty LibGuide page at http://palibraries.libguides.com/content.php?pid=270348&sid=2230234, where we organize resources for classes coming to our high school library for library instruction. I am also working on a private LibGuides site to arrange lesson plans for the Technology Integration Into the Classroom course I'll be teaching next semester for Wilson College's M.Ed program, focusing on Web 2.0 tools for education.
