I did some last minute pinch-hitting at the Massachusetts Library Association’s annual conference on Friday.  Someone had to bow out of the Technology Trends panel due to a sudden job-related relocation, and I decided to take a break from my two young hooligans for the day, put on Real Grownup Clothing, and enjoy some Actual Adult Conversation.

 

Here are the slides from my panel presentation:

I realize the slides seem sort of disjointed, strange, and somewhat nonsensical without any sort of context.  They mostly served as a visual aide in the background while I was being talky.
At some point soon (very soon!) I will properly embloggenate the ideas I talked about at the panel, so the stuff on slideshare makes more sense.
In the meantime, I was SO EXCITED to meet all manner of smart/gorgeous/idealistic/creative people at the conference and I am SO enthusiastic about All Things Library all over again.  Many, many thanks to Nora Blake for thinking of me at the last minute.  :)

People came to the workshop eager for information, and there were lots of really good and challenging questions raised during the discussion after the presentation.

On a personal note, as a new mom it was really heartwarming and inspiring for me to see so many parents of older kids who actively wanted to learn more about teens and social media in the context of being a more effective parent. In my day-to-day life I often feel that parenting an active and busy 1 year old is one of the hardest jobs there is, but I’m starting to think that maybe parenting is one of those things that really never does get any simpler.

If you’re a workshop attendee and you’ve found your way to this site looking for the workshop web page, here it is:

I hope you find the slides, PDFs & collection of links useful! Also, please note there’s a small feedback survey–I’d love it if you could take a moment to let me know what you thought of the workshop.

Thanks for a great evening!
