Call for Committee Members
|
Are you looking for a volunteering opportunity to expand your professional horizons? NEFLIN needs a few good people to join our
Continuing Education Committee. We have five people rotating off of the committee in September, so you have ample opportunity to join this dynamic group!
The CE Committee meets every other month at NEFLIN HQ in Orange Park. You would help craft NEFLIN's slate of Continuing Education offerings. Committee members provide valuable input on forthcoming training, as well as suggestions for potential classes. Committee members also play a significant role in purchase of new books for our Lending Library and toys for our Equipment Library.
If you would like to contribute to the educational experience for everyone in NEFLIN's region, please contact Continuing Education Coordinator
Raymond Neal and let him know! Your commitment would include six bimonthly meetings and occasionally facilitating webinars (it's easy! We can teach you how to do it in a few minutes!). By joining, you can help yourself and your colleagues at the same time! It's a win-win!

My Favorite Tool: Padlet
|
"My Favorite Tool" is a new feature for the NEFLIN Newsletter. Do you have a tool that you think others could benefit from?
Email [email protected] with your submission.
What is it? Padlet
Cost? Free (paid options available)
This month's featured tool is submitted by Jenny Eason, Member Services Coordinator at NEFLIN.
My favorite tool is one I have used many times in classroom and presentation settings.
Padlet is a collaborative online space with a format much like a bulletin board. Drag and drop images, documents, and audio files onto your Padlet, or create blog-type posts. Items on your Padlet can be rearranged and resized, and there are a variety of backgrounds and themes to choose from.
But the best part about Padlet is that it is so easy to use collaboratively. As a teacher, I gave my students a short link and they could immediately connect and add content. During small group discussions, I often displayed the Padlet on my projector screen, and the students could add content in real time for the entire class to see.
In a library setting, Padlet would work well in programming, especially for teens and adults. There is something about being able to use technology to answer questions and interact, even when you are in a face-to-face setting. For some, it removes barriers and helps them engage in ways they wouldn't otherwise.
I hope you check it out - your free account includes access to three Padlets at a time, and they are easy to share in a variety of formats.
