Using Social Media and Mobile Technology to Engage Teens A Special 4-Evening Workshop with Jennifer LaGarde November 12-15, 2012. Each part lasts 60 minutes. 7:30pm Eastern | 6:30 Central | 5:30 Mountain | 4:30 Pacific
Today's teenagers and college students live, work, study, and communicate in a world where social media and mobile technology are ubiquitous. Emerging research even suggests that students' brains are developing differently as a result of their connected, technology-driven world. Even tech-savvy librarians can feel challenged when reaching out to this age group using these tools. In this weeklong workshop Jennifer LaGarde will show you how to engage with teens by "speaking their language," using technology to connect with young adults on their own level. You'll also learn how you can harness social media and mobile technology to build innovative library programming and instruction. This workshop will take place in the evenings during the week of November 12, with each of the four 60-minute sessions starting at 7:30pm Eastern. Attendees will be given brief readings and activities which can be completed either during or after the event. Jennifer LaGarde is the lead librarian for New Hanover Schools and is the teacher librarian at Myrtle Grove Middle School in Wilmington, North Carolina. In 2011, Jennifer was awarded the "I Love My Librarian Award" by the American Library Association, The Carnegie Corporation of New York and The New York Times. She was also named a 2011 "Mover and Shaker" by Library Journal.
