 All right, good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host, Krista Porter, here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is a commission's weekly webinar series where we cover a variety of topics that we have interest to libraries, both here in Nebraska and across the country. We broadcast the show live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. central time. But if you're unable to join us on Wednesdays, that's fine. You can't, we do record the show every week and you can go to our website anytime you want to and watch our recordings. And I'll show you at the end of today's show where those archived recordings are available. Both the live show and the archives are free and open to anyone to watch. So please do share with your friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, anyone who you think might be interested in any of the topics that we've had on the show. And we do a mixture of things here, book reviews, interviews, demos of services and products, mini-training sessions, basically anything that would be something interest to libraries. As the Nebraska Library Commission is the state agency for libraries here in Nebraska. And that is for all types of libraries in the state. So you will find shows that are for public libraries, academic, K-12, schools, correctional facilities, museums, even anything that has a library or kind of think of it as a library, kind of open to that, just not much of a definition, there would be something on the show for you. We do bring in guest speakers sometimes from outside of the Library Commission and outside of Nebraska. But this morning we have one of our own staff on the show with me today. Next to me here is Amanda Sweet, who is our Technology Innovation Librarian here at the Nebraska Library Commission and Happy Halloween today. I don't know if you can get anything for just a moment. I'm doing a little Doctor Who, I had a little Doctor Who in the new Doctor Who cosplay. She has her son, a screwdriver, so not really anything related to Halloween in this show today, but digital literacy isn't scary, that's it, yes, this will make it so you're not scared of it. That's something you have to. So yeah, I'm going to talk about teaching digital literacy in your library. So I'll just hand it over to you to take it away and tell us everything you need to know. No pressure. So digital literacy kind of runs the gamut here. I run into it a lot when I teach courses in the library, when I go out and teach maker safe stuff in the library. And the big huge question that I always get is, what is it? Because you hear that phrase all the time. Yeah, yeah. And it's a trick question because it's different for everybody. It's going to be different for every library that you go into and for each person that you talk to. So you may actually have come across it under any number of these different terms. New literacies, literacy technology, multilated literacies, pretty much anything. Every single new paper that comes out or every year they have some new definition for it. So it does new research and wants to come up with their names for it. Very much, yeah. But at the core of it, it's basically just learning different devices, finding out how to find information using those devices and using that information safely. And then sharing it in a way that fits for you. So this is the long and short of it. This presentation isn't going to be able to tell you everything there is to know about digital literacy in 50 minutes. That's virtually impossible. But what I am going to do is give you a starting point. It'll give you a way to just bite off a little chunk of it and give you some actionable stuff that you can take in your own library and give you some free resources to use to just grab and go without having to take time that you definitely don't have to set up to find all these resources. Yeah, you've done that part for you. Very much. So this is actually what we're going to cover here today. I already did a little snippet of what digital literacy is, but each one of those little puzzle pieces that you just saw, I'll give you some examples of what that actually is. And then I'll dive into some different resources that I scoured the internet to find for you to use in your own library. And then we'll kind of dive into what you can do to try to decide what you actually want to teach in your library, what are people interested in, and is this something that your library patrons are actually going to go attend? Yeah, there's a lot of those social media things, services and products that your people just don't use. And that's what we've got to find out. Yeah, don't teach a class on something that nobody in your town is interested in. And you can't force people to want to learn something. Like, sometimes, of course you could. Trick is sometimes just ease people into it. But we'll get to that soon enough. And when you find out the breadth of information that's in here, you'll realize that one library doesn't have the resources or the time to teach everything to everybody. So there is an option of partnering with local organizations. So I'll touch on that toward the end here. So let's dive in. First off, there's a lot of digital literacy information for teaching how to use information for kids. And for... But there's not a whole lot for the parents that are out there right now. And or for the elderly or for all different age groups. Because digital literacy isn't just for kids. It's great. They need to know it. But they also have schools are also touching on that. Right. I was wondering if that's the kind of thing that at a school that you'd want to be doing. It's probably part of that, definitely. But at a public library, depending on what your school is doing, you might be able to do less. Or is that one of those where you could partner with them? Definitely. Yeah. And being able to partner with different museums, different schools, and having the library communicate with the school to make sure you're not doubling up on information. And that you're covering the things that you need to cover. And for schools to be able to funnel kids to the library, one, to get them through the door. And two, to give them the information that they need in a good hands-on, attentive way. And that's another thing that I'll cover is project-based learning. People learn by doing. It's not just kids that learn that way, it's everybody. And that's not the only way to learn, but it helps. And any little thing that you can do to get this digital literacy across, it helps. So even if you put handouts and different posters up on your wall about digital safety and how to prevent cyber attacks and different things like that, people look at those. Like, if you put them in the adult section, put them in the kids section, anything helps. So that first puzzle piece is learning digital devices. And there's an item. Probably the most popular one is desktop computers and long tops. And then after that is smartphones. So even if you just focus on those three things, if people learn how to use those three and learn them really well, that's an amazing starting point. You don't need to do everything in your library. Just find out what your community actually uses. Focus on that and put your resources toward that. So, and there's also already some free resources together to help you do that. So this is digitalliteracy.gov. And I love this website. And this will give you some pre-made lesson plans on how to teach basic computing. So you don't have to go through and set up your own stuff everywhere. You can actually just go through here. And this will give you a good place to start to find out what to teach. And a lot of these resources will actually give you a step-by-step lesson plan. Just like this one. That's awesome. I've referred a lot of people to this, yeah. I recognize the GCS, right? Goodwill, something, Beauty Foundation, is that the sense? Okay. And let me pop back in here. Next time I'll remember to open a new channel. And this is actually one of my favorites here, brain health. So this will give you more information about how computing is a really big one right now. So I'm actually running this presentation on Google Slides. And that's cloud computing. People don't necessarily know what cloud computing is. It's just this mythical thing in the sky that's being down there. We've done some encompassed live shows about it. So check our archives. We can search our archives for that. But this will give you a whole lot of information about it. It gives you a little short video. And then you can quiz yourself to make sure people are informed. I like that. Self-testing. Yeah. You can watch something you want, but then you retain it. Right. Yeah. And it's great. It's self-paced and you can just give people this link and they can click around to learn more about what they actually want to find out about it. And I like that it also had on the main page of all of the different ones, basic things like computer mounts. Yeah. And we have so many people that come in. Yeah. Flash drives, data storage devices, some guys, things like that. Some people who are, one of our staff is just talking downstairs about it. Their elderly mother is like 80 years old. They got her computer. And that's the end. She's like, I've never touched one before. I don't know. Don't worry. We got it. And you've got to explain to them, this is the mouse and what it does. For some of us, we've had one our whole lives and it's not. Take it for granted. Yeah. We know what to do. And to them, if they've never bothered to use it before and never needed it, really she needed to communicate with her grandchildren. They got her writing letters on it and letters to her email. But you have to start with here's a mouse and what it does and how you click it. Yeah. And this just gives you the long and the short of everything and your library doesn't have to put this together. It's already there. Yes. Let's pop back in here again. And this one, Google actually, I won't go through this because it'll make me log in for my account and I'll take more time than I need. Let's see. It's freely. Yeah. But this is actually something that we will put together to it's a step-by-step lesson plan that's in their built-in platform that'll show people what the device is and how it works. So they're your basic Android phone and the Chromebook that they make. I should tell you, I should have mentioned we started one of these. Don't worry about trying to scribble down these URLs or what these pages are. You're going to have access to these slides after the show. So they will all be included for you in the archive afterwards. So don't worry about trying to write down all that down there. You'll have a link to this later and you'll be able to go to them right from that. And I merged them into a handout too. So it's just a big PDF. Yeah. That's all. Yeah, next is after people learn how to use the device itself, now they know how to use the computer. They know how to use the phone. What do you do with it? You learn, you have, there's a ton of digital tools that are out there. But before you can use them, people need to know they exist. So this is just a starting point. There are different, social media is a huge one in libraries right now. People want to learn how to use Facebook and how to use Twitter and everything like that. Snapchat, Instagram, whatever their kids are using. And it's great to teach it for personal use, but it's also awesome to teach, to show them that it can be used for professional development too. So, and that's another huge thing with digital literacy is this is definitely not just for kids. Adults can further their career and they can do a lot more with their rights if they have these tools available to them. And that's why I always put a huge focus on digital literacy for everyone. And a lot of what they're going to be using, like you said, in their career, a lot of businesses and organizations are going with Cub based things as everything like Google is, we're using Google end of the story. That's going to be your email. That's going to be where you put your presentations like this, all of your documents that's going to share and collaborate with your coworkers. And you need to know what that's all about before you go into interview for that job. That's not the kind of thing they want to have to teach at this day and age. Because I'm going into that kind of a place, teach them what you get when you get there. You should already know. And that's another thing that the goodwill does is they do professional development and that's why they have all those resources out there that show people how to use computers, what it is, what they need it for, how to use it. And the more you know, the more you can do, and the further you can go. And just so I don't take a full time on this, we'll just move forward here into some examples of how different tools that you can use to teach. So I'm not sure how many people are familiar with the idea of learning, but it's basically a combination of hands-on physical learning and computer learning. So an example would be if you're in a classroom and you have different stations set up in the classroom. You would have some kids that are working on the computer itself, their research information, they're looking it up. Then you have another little station over here of people that are using the information they just learned. Maybe you're learning about a historical figure, and then you're putting together a poster presentation to show how it works. So you will learn it, you use it, you absorb the information, and you go a lot further that way. So this is a whole slew of information about different learning management tools that you can use. One of the most popular ones on here, CAHOOT. CAHOOT is, it's basically like a little interactive quiz style thing. So it's colorful, kids like it. They get engaged into it. And you can teach them snippets of information, and then put them to find out how well they're doing it. And then find out what you need to focus on later on. CAHOOT's used in a lot of classrooms. I actually ran into it on edLev. And edLev is more geared for schools and school libraries, but regular libraries. There's a lot of educational concepts in general. So just because it's got education on the label, what does it mean it's only for schools? Libraries can do a lot of education, too. So this is just a little fun site to sit through and find out if there's something that you might be interested in diving into. Well, I certainly heard a lot of, some of you talk about using Padlet, too. Oh, yeah. I've heard of that one. That is really popular right now. It's like a virtual wall, an interactive thing where multiple people, multiple students, and teacher can be posting things together. A lot of collaboration going on. And it also teaches forums. So, yeah. And it's great to get kids introduced early to how forums work. It's basically just a sharing of information and ideas. And so, for example, for a forum for a basic computing class, you can do a lot of peer-to-peer learning that way. So someone in the class were to post a question, and they would say, oh, I'm having trouble learning how to access this program in here. And another peer answers it. And then another one maybe gives a slight correction to that. You can teach how to do open access. You can teach how to do forum sharing and information sharing. And how to do, basically, just help each other out. And it also is great for teaching X, too. So, Medicaid is something that I'm going to be covering a little later on. And it's something that not just kids have big problems with, but adults do. But I'll dive into that a little later. It's one of my personal pieces. And let's get in here. And this one is also great for digitalliteracy.gov, put together a lot of tools for specifically designed for professional development. And wait on time. So, if you want to do a short series in your library about how to further your small business using digital tools, this is a great way to do it. And I won't click through all of these because we only have so much time. But this has just a lot of resources already put together that you can, we can just grab and go. And we'll go back here. And the last one I'll just touch on quickly here is the digital teacher. So, this is run through Cambridge. Cambridge University. And this is a really, really, really enthusiastic teacher who hopes to share what she does. And she's put together a lot of pre-existing lesson plans and you'll find a lot of cool stuff for ESL and for different digital tools to use in your library. And again, we definitely don't have time to dive into every one of these, but just say you're aware it's here. Digital teacher. We do have a question about one of those, was getting smart? He wants to know, does anyone have any experience using getting smart with adults? I've pointed people to it. And I've worked with them when I've gone around to teach a makerspace stuff. It's worked pretty well for people. Yeah, because they've been teaching adults how to help part of their makerspaces. Yeah. And there is actually just a kind of a quick search there. They do have some things using technology and motivation to reach adult learners. They do have resources on there and things for adults. If anyone has used it in a course or a class, or has experienced using the getting smart website for adults, let us know. But there are resources there for adults. Yeah. And I have pointed adults to it and they have used it and they have learned a lot from it. So it's been successful in these experiences. So I'm going to close that and I'll click in here. And searching and finding information is a big one. So if you work with any information literacy, this has been a crossover a lot. And if you've touched on fake news in your library, this has also been a play in there too. So this is just giving different exercises to people of all ages, so that they want to take a closer look at the articles that they're reading, at the news that they come across, and at various different websites. So it'll teach them to look at that domain name, find out if it ends in a dot com or an edu or dot go. And then take it a step further than that and find out if that information is relevant to them, if it's accurate, if it's current, when was it published. And the big thing is just to get people to start asking themselves questions. And to not take everything at nice value. So, and to find out that there is more than just Google. And that's okay. Google is a good place to start, but we do have to go farther. Yes. And I use Google every day. I love Google. But there's other stuff out there. There's open source databases. There's journals and psychopedias. There's a ton of stuff out there. Verified resources. Yeah. Not just random internet sites that you come across. Yeah. And so of course the first one I put on here is more advanced ways to search Google because people are going to use Google. I use it. I love it. I will never stop using Google. But you have to know as that says are the right ways to use it. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And this just gives you this. This I actually from this article, I learned a bunch of stuff that I didn't know before. Some of this stuff is stuff I learned in library school that they just moved over into Google. And some of it is just, it's just cool. I like the excluding words one. Yeah. I think I found for something on a topic and some of those phrases can bring up incorrect for you results. Right. Because it's also about something else and you can say, well, yeah, that, but not, I didn't want to know about that part, that thing. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, I made exact phrasing, but you need two separate phrases. But there might be a lot of terms in the middle. There is also like quote and using the air and this actor. I use quotes all the time. Yeah. So maybe if you put a phrase in quotes, it looks for that exact phrase rather than just doing a little search of a bunch of words where we'll find all of them anywhere in any place. Yeah. It's just like chaos. Yeah. Which sometimes is great. And you're just kind of doing a feeler. But when you know I need this specific three word phrase quotes, yeah, to get you what you need to do. That using the minus sign in front of where to exclude it is hugely helpful. Yeah. So that's a good one to sit through there too. And I'll close that. And we'll move on to and local citizen is one that I go to a lot to basically incorporate some ethics into your search too. And it incorporates. This will give you some really good tools for pre-made scenarios to present to students to get them thinking. So if I scroll far enough down here, there's actually a guide here. It looks like this is the part of it. But this is like a step by step guide. And it will give you everything that you need to cover. And there's also a. Here. Additional list of resources and tips and tricks. So they've also already put together some additional resources that are related to the exercise. So. He's amazing how many different tips there are. You can see there. There's like all those different. Here's 10 tricks. He's 36 tips. Yeah. Here's the five best ones you should know. And there's just so many things. And this is a. Yeah. So. So. This will give dive a lot more into. More specific lesson plans. And after you fill this out. I already. I filled this up myself. And it gives you a PDF. And that will give you different slides. So. So. And this is a. I clicked on the link at the bottom. And it's an information fluency guide. So this will give dive a lot more into. More specific lesson plans. Yeah. So. And. You can also. Do different scenarios that you can present to students that are. Separated by age range. Nice. Yeah. You can either do it by age range or. Is free. And that's great. It's great. Yeah. And none of the resources in here will be paid. I chose all three resources. And this was just at the bottom of the global citizen. around everywhere for different lesson plans that will show you real versus fake and of course my favorite one was ABC. And this is actually just a straight up lesson plan. It downloads into a PowerPoint format and it's just a slide show that you can show pretty much anyone. And then it'll give you kind of a did you absorb this kind of thing in the end. And it'll tell you as a library and what you need to do to set people up. Oh nice. It's a lot of paper that you can do. And basically BBC is such a bank. So probably the most important ones on here, smartphone and app safety, phishing and email safety. This is a big one for all agents as is this one. But the resources that I put in here will show parents how they can monitor smartphone activity and how they can start the conversation with their kids to teach them safety. But before parents can teach the kids about safety they need to monitor themselves. So in here we've got how to be a good parent workshop. So Family Online Safety Institute is a non-profit organization and they've put together some it's basically a pre-made pre-built program that you can just download and they have different handouts that you can put out and they have information packets. And you just fill out this form downloaded it'll send you over to a Dropbox account and then you can open up some different PDFs and different PowerPoint presentations that you can show in your library. And there's also some templates and handouts that you can print out and just leave in a stack in the library as well. And then this is the one. This is specifically for parents and for kids. So they set up these different interactive videos that they're actually kind of cool because there are these little animated snippets that it'll show up like a little virtual computer screen and then it'll have people click on different things that they think might be a little bit suspect. And then it'll tell you why it was suspect and if it was or it wasn't, yeah. And then and you can see in the example here there's like a little email message or a text message that someone got and the parent or the student has to look at this and say should I reply to this? Does this look like it's real or is it fake and should I tell my parent? And this will give information directly to parents. You can put students directly over here. And this is the handy-dandy indicator guide that will give you a full bubble of everything that's available in these videos so you don't have to watch them all yourself before you. Oh cool, yeah. That can take a lot of time to look at what is actually in this thing that I'm sharing with these parents. And I like that it's got separate here's some ones for a student and here's now the few of the parent yeah because you're watching this these ones instead. And there's also later on down on this page is if you use the educator guide or if you use the parent with the three. So much catching. So this will just this is like a little blinking light but it just makes it interactive. And it tells you exactly where to go. And this is cut off a little bit but it's a good place to start. So up on a bear. And for the sake of time I'll skip over this one but it's really good. And copyright and plagiarism is a huge one. They already do cover it a lot in schools because they have to. But copyright goes beyond just writing papers. A big thing is copyright in the maker movement. So for example we use audio equipment in the library right now. But there's fair use and there is just straight up copyright violation. And if you so say for example you're playing around with audio equipment in the library. You download someone else's song and you decide to take out like a little snippet of it and replace your library name with it. Nine times out of ten it's a library. You're not selling it. Really minds that much. But people like libraries. Yeah. But every so often you'll get that one artist or that one or someone who comes across it and goes you can't use this. And it's just sometimes the maker movement of using different equipment to make your own thing. It wants a fine line on the copyright. And some people care more about that than others. Odds are pretty good that in a random library in the middle of wherever you're not going to be. Yeah especially you're just using it in your library and the kids or the teens are making their thing and they take it home and yeah you know whatever Caesar knows about it. That's yeah I don't know. But they've learned how to do the school thing. It's when you start sharing it outside of the library that it can get. And it gets a little hazy when people come into your maker space in the library. You show them how to do something. They take that and then they make their own thing and then go sell it online. And then it turns out that what they're selling online they may not have known it. The future may not have known it but they violated the copyright. They use someone else's work or they use someone else's song. They sold it for a prompt that violated a copyright and it comes back to a library. So where they got it from Regis yeah. And they the patron just goes well I want to go to the library and that's where you run into some problems. So by and large 99.9% of the time you don't care. Like but every so often. So just something to be aware of. It's not something you'll likely run into a whole lot but and something that you need to make sure that anyone using your resources in the library like that are like that are aware that it's something they need to it's something they need to be aware of if they are going to use it. That it's not up to us to police them and whatnot but we can inform them and it's telling them this is the issue that you need to take into consideration before you decide to do whatever you're going to do with this song or this design from that from 3D printer or whatever. You're just going to do it take it home make Christmas presents for your family cool yeah but when you start selling it that's where it comes in that's where everything changes when you're selling it for your own profit. And that's why to protect your library writing a policy that covers you and that is also a great way to go. And I think one big concept is a lot of who are finding these either going online to find all these like plans for things and the whole key free is yes you know and the whole concept that some people still have that well if it's on the internet it's free and I can use it for anything right it's out there for anybody to use no no it doesn't work that way you need to double check and make sure that thing you found is not copyrighted by someone else yeah it wasn't them saying here's my artwork or my design my original design and I've copyrighted it if you want to use it you need to contact me you know you need to look for that information isn't it some people still have the hope that I found an online that means yeah everything online is free and open to it's no it's not just because it can doesn't give me shit as if you yeah and so this is true for the things you make it's true for the things you write it's true for if you go onto an online forum or a wiki and if you read posts down to your own site they're happening to throw like that in trouble for doing that so if you read the copyright laws know the copyright laws and know how to share things while still attributing it to the original author right that's a big thing yeah so how do you teach it edit up the ads a big one I know I'm looking at the clock here so I'm not going to click through all these I'm just going to give you an overview of what they are and basically the title says it all for this one it's a series of five minute videos that you can show in your library or your school and your organization that gives people the nation about it copyright fair use how it can be used in the library how it can be used in various different locations and you'll also see common sense education popping a lot on these resources and this is actually specifically for kids it's different lesson plans and different activities that you can use kids to show them the right way to go build their wall compass if you and plagiarism.org is it teaches me about plagiarism yeah there's that's a long one the short one yeah we have a question related to this um about creative comments copyright oh yeah there's creative comments copyright issues add much to this I mean how does that create maybe just a short little explanation on what creative commons so creative commons you'll find in things like um Arduino has a creative commons license so spark fun isn't it Arduino is a little circuit board that you can use to build various different things they use a creative commons license so that other people can use their original source code to develop their own material but they have to attribute their little spin off thing to Arduino itself and each creative commons license will be written very specifically for guidelines for how people can use things so something like spark fun is another little circuit board that's that branched off of Arduino that they had to run through the cabinet to be able to say that this is branching off of Arduino but it's something that we made that was I guess kind of an inspired by so creative commons is another huge thing to teach in maker movement especially when people dive into things and they really get into it and want to make your own thing and that way later on down the line is the aspiring technologist or the aspiring maker is doing their thing they won't run into all these English and later on and creative commons there is a little snippet of it in the five-minute film festival up here so they have an input or if you have I am not qualified in any way shape or form to be able to give you any legal advice on how to write issues but there are different places that you can go to to get specifically the advice on it and just disclaimer yeah we did do and I hope this lies a show recently on fair news I believe when you just look it up here which is related to this you know what you can and can't use facets of fair use last August so you looked up fair use on our archives I'll show you at the end of today's show about that um so we've got a session on that and I was just making notes myself actually that I think we've done some things about creative commons but it's been a while and I'm going to do an update on that it definitely needs to be done 15 months well way too long ago 2010 yeah we're going to update that but creative commons is great it's something that creators makers of anything yeah you'll see it on websites too like um some is it has designed the a lot of open access like open access yeah um a WordPress theme or something let's say this is great or the content of creation which me and you're looking it'll tell you you can use my stuff but it's a way of actually film for creators to let let people allow them to let you to let you know that you are allowed to use it but with these restrictions you can modify it but make sure you you cite that you got it from me or you can't modify it means you can copy it and just in a whole you keep it all together but you also still never say this is where I got it um they've got these all rules but it's something to look at when you're um finding things online have they created commons license it in at well with what restrictions yeah or is it you know and so this is great for you can actually there is such a way that you can start teaching kids how to build an online presence and build their own reputation so that later on down the line they have a better shot at building a professional online presence so if you know how to use Facebook you know how to use Twitter you know how to build your own website or you don't actually need to know how to approach your own website you can use something like WordPress and we use that in the library want to and if you can use that to build your online presence and you can and you can learn different tips and tricks for how to do it well so and this cute little troll dude that's cute yeah this will also go into the kind of the ethics and the nugget so now so say you build a Facebook profile you're starting to build an online presence you are going online to show people who you are what you're all about you want to send a good message across and the earlier on you can teach that the better and that's why I have this little board ribbon here to protect your reputation because it's not this again is not something that just kids run into it's across the board so how do you teach it again Google for education I'm pretty sure Google just knows but they've built a whole little module on here that has I think it's between two foreign lessons that will show people how to manage your online reputation and again I don't look at you're running long on time but and then in the cyberbullying it's real so this is something that people just need to be more aware it's something that it again gets you thinking it'll go through like different resources to teach people what cyberbullying is how to prevent it how to raise awareness for parents how to raise awareness in the organization and basically if you show people if you post things that make other people feel bad it has an impact so this is the ethics of digital literacy and the ethics of digital literacy is going to run through everything that you do and everything that you teach so your what digital literacy you're not just teaching how would you use something or what you can do with it you have to teach how to do it well how to build ethics build a moral compass and start it early and again common sense also has some great information on here and I'll actually put this one as a link it so this one it's a set of kind of um they put together a whole ton of resources on here which is why I like it and this is actually different librarians who have been teaching it who have been using it who have done it and they've been here and they've done it more than I have so this is one that I like it'll give you a lot of information about it and it'll give you digital literacy tools that you can actually use and just actively go forth and start doing it and move on here so now this is kind of where digital literacy is all leading up to you learn how to use the tools you've learned how to use them correctly you you you've learned the different options that work well for you you've matched up your your own personal interests with the tools that exist and they're out there and now you've built your brand you've built your online presence you are telling people who you are and what you're all about now you want to share your work you've created this cool and awesome thing and now some people love it so that's where things like podcasting in your website and Creative Commons also pops up here again too soon but this will teach you how to what you can do to be more effective in spreading the word so and I also put what an R is up there in the left-hand corner because hi so how do you teach it the first two on here I put about etiquette and cyber ethics because they're huge I'm already I don't want to meet this to the ground because I've already talked a lot about it but those are two huge things that you run into when you're going into shared forms going into open access but this is the one that I like here why do we need open access um the right to research coalition I love them they put together a lot of different resources and they do it for different people so we want to as a library you'd want or any organization really you want to encourage people to know how to contribute to open access tell them what it is and tell them that it's a great free way to be able to use spread information and spread accurate information that's peer reviewed or that's accurately reviewed so and showing that money and everything sometimes information is the best way out there yeah this is something that's been a it's trying to switch the the viewpoint I guess um in more scholarly academic circles that this has always been behind paywalls or locked up and if you want to see someone's dissertation you've got to contact that college and get them to give you a copy and you've got to pay them very much money for it and we're trying to switch the um thinking on that that no these research and information should be available other people need to know about it as easily as possible to learn what's been researched and found out and to build upon it yes wasting time duplicating something that already yeah and you almost can't duplicate it because can't access the first one because you don't even know what's there yeah good so is he on here so this I'm just going to briefly briefly briefly touch upon because it's how digital literacy is changing now and I do I mentioned in the beginning that every single year every month three time the definition for digital literacy keeps changing but the cool thing is all these topics on here they look like they're just out of this world we can never do this it's not true it actually fits a lot of this fits into what I already talked about right now like augmented reality and virtual reality they can just be different ways to teach they can be just interactive ways that you could even teach digital literacy itself and artificial intelligence we use all the time everywhere always but people want to know more about all of this stuff and libraries are starting to put a lot of programs for a lot of this different stuff out there but the biggest thing is that no library on the planet has the time on budget to be able to teach all of this no so the big thing is what do you actually want to teach I also like a turtle there and he's around you free but so before you decide what to teach it helps to know what is this first so all those digital tools out there even if you just google digital literacy tools you can learn a lot about a good starting point or if you want to refer back to even this presentation just for a starting point and again I guarantee I did not cover everything yeah so there's a lot and you can see just from all this you know I mean just the previous slide it's so many different things coming up and the original slide back and beginning listening all the things that digital literacy can be yeah it's a huge topic but this I think yeah you've got to figure out what do you your people want and then based on that what can you do you have the time right to provide and then if you can't do it where can you send them like these places that already have the lesson plans oh you need to know about that we don't have a class in it but here go look at this this will teach you everything you need to know and there's also the big thing about teaching it in the library is what is your staff comfortable with too because they all know them and introducing things just a little by time instead of throwing everything in all at once can go a long way because if your if the library staff isn't on board then hurt won't be in it and it won't work quite as well and your patrons will notice yeah yeah and so once you find out what people want but what's your staff what is this find out what your staff is comfortable teaching then ask the patrons find out what kids want to learn what the elderly need to learn what pretty much everyone across the board actually wants once you have a list of what people want you can compare it against what you can actually do and then pick the most important things from there and that way you're choosing programs and building programs and putting resources into things that people will actually attend and then you have a good way to justify continuing a digital literacy program because it's popular and just because you as a librarian or you or you and your organization just because you're just learning some of this stuff and you may not be as familiar with it doesn't really teach it sometimes the best way that I've learned is while I was teaching it and it's it's a little bit trial and error but that's just life and number six is also my favorite on here um Aillie where's the start of something great I live why that but once you've started a digital literacy program in your library and it doesn't have to be anything huge it can just be just one or two things to start off with and once you've started that as you continue going start collecting information collect stories find out what people have done after they've gone to a session in your library what have they what do they need build sort of like a little library portfolio to show that people are using your services and that they are getting something out of what you're teaching and it helps you keep going it helps bring more patrons into the library and instead of just posting these projects in the library itself you can start doing outreach you can go to state fairs you can go to different schools in the area you can go and show people what your library is doing and how it's impacting your community and how it's helping your community grow and digital literacy is huge digital literacy is what you make it it's what your community needs it's what your community wants and it helps bring people together and instead of just teaching a one-on-one class the project-based learning can also encourage teamwork too so you can you put more experienced people together with less experienced people and putting people together like that is it's a great way to encourage growth and it's a great way to spread resources I think they like to help each other too so it becomes a as a collaborative lot but they don't do it that way it's just like oh this you know this kid doesn't get it but I do or the senior doesn't understand this you know the person but you know someone doesn't help them it gives you a sense of accomplishment and yeah and everything kicks back yeah everybody learns the difference rates and yeah some people may pick something up the first time they see it and other people might need to do it five or ten times it's skill level it's experience it's comfort level it's how much sleep you have that morning right before we go on I just want to say um we are a little past our usual 11 am central time and time but um that's okay we started a little late today too and um anyways we will keep going as long as the tapes get through all the slides and maybe who or want to stick around you can keep asking questions and um if you have to leave that's okay the whole show is being recorded so you have that afterwards we did have a question so if you want to know about sending the slides um yes these slides will be available afterwards um along with the archive recording and you may have seen as um we've been popping um medicine popping around there is a handout put together as well with all these links that you'll have um we'll send to you as well with all of the URLs and websites that were mentioned in the show so you'll have all those resources afterwards too and they're separated by categories so it should be easy easy access and so I'm almost done so this is just an example of the different organizations that you can partner with to be able to spread more information and to kind of network together and funnel people into different partner organizations I guess you could say so that it's not all just on the library and it's not all just on the school so if you were to gather together your welcome community center maybe a few museums in the area and you grab your school library get the school curriculum and your public library find out what each person is covering right there and share resources so your library is not stressed out to the guilds trying to get all done and any little bit of house that's pretty much it but if you have any questions either now or a little later on as we're trying to put this together you know where I am and my contact info will also be on that handout should you need it in the future let's go ahead and show the handle since you had it yeah but there you are okay so if you have any of any uh last minute questions you want to ask them Amanda go ahead and type them in right now oh we have a comment saying I'm loving all the resources you're sharing here thank you so yeah here's the and this will just give you a little mini description of what it is and I put out the full link just in case you want to print it instead of just clicking on mine otherwise I would have just turned that into a link sure because it is something you could potentially hand out to someone or whatever and they might want to type in something yeah yeah and I'd always be in the work trying to do right now I learned about the hard way after the first time I presented something way back when um always make it so you can print it too you never know how people use it yes true and emails usually the best thing to get a hold of me but my always also let's say it's online yeah yeah all of our contact info is on the website of yes truth but that was about the long wish right a bit okay so on this one note can they share this this is asking you you're creative you're you're sharing your restrictions of any can we share this handout with patrons yeah it could be used um you know realize it is you know just have that heading teaching digital literacy at the library so um you might want to take this um and modify it a little bit yeah to be something that'd be more because like that heading there is going to be maybe a little confusing to a patron potentially so you might tweak this a little bit and if you take parts of it so I need description yeah to make it more um patron friendly or accessible patron accessible because some of this they may not you know it could be a little daunting just seeing that yeah heading like learning yeah so you probably modify it potentially yeah because this was created for librarians for or library staff um but you can definitely tweak it and these parts of it that would be appropriate to hand out to someone yeah and some of these sites also have cream made handouts that are specific to the category too yeah to dig deep you know drill down into their sites too to find things that I'm specific on each of these topics because yeah giving this whole handout to someone may scare them yeah that's so much everyone all these different things all at once like you said earlier break it up into little pieces when you're learning out or when you're presenting it to your staff it's your something we all need to start learning yeah you're gonna break it up into small bite-sized bite-sized pieces so they don't choke on it and run away pretty much it's Halloween we're trying to make it a not scary you can do it your staff can do it all right and she didn't say she did learn something yay I learned something bits and pieces the pertinent stuff depending on the query absolutely yeah so doesn't look like any other last minute questions have come in um if you do have anything you want to know there's Amanda's email it's on the slide it's on the website you can find all of us the commission for easy we do yes we are all right something that everybody seems to have any desperately urgent questions they need to ask right now that's fine we can reach out to Amanda when you are and use all these resources too so I think we'll wrap it up for today's show and let's see here let's just go take an end compass live I'm going to show you are where our website is and at the moment whenever you use the rules to search end compass live we are the only thing that comes up nobody ever named anything else this because there's our main webpage here where we have our upcoming shows see we've got scheduled for the next couple of months our archives are right here archived end compass live sessions right underneath the list of upcoming shows and this is where you'll see a list of all the shows we've previously had and links to their archives it's the most recent one to the top of the list when so go back chronologically and you will have here there will be this is last week's um I think it was not appropriate or related the previous one links the recording which goes up onto our as I mentioned before the show to the Nebraska Library Commission's YouTube channel the slides and the hand out will each have a hand a link to those as well so you have access to them afterwards probably later this afternoon depending on how cooperative YouTube and go to webinars with um processing the archives I'll have available to you and I will send everyone who attended today and everyone registered for today's show we get an email sent to you and then post it onto our social media Twitter Facebook um letting people know that the archive is available to you well as you know here this is as I mentioned earlier we do have our archives here they are searchable um oh fairies and you can see we do have done a few things few things for fairies come up but this is most recent one we did if you're looking for more into that the facets if you're used just done um August of last year 2017 so pretty pretty um our archives here are actually going all the way back to the very beginning of the show if you scroll all the way down we start the show in January 2009 so this is our tenth year of In Compass Live wow but everything you'll find archives going all the way back and if you scroll a little faster here 2016 2015 be aware when you're looking at a previous show what the date that it was actually broadcast live there will be old information on here outdated information superseded um but pay attention to the date everything has a date so you know when it actually happens um we are librarians we archive this that's what we do and so we will always have this information up there but just be aware when you're looking at our archives how old something may be so that is where our recording will go um I'll hopefully join us next week we're also on Facebook I've mentioned that um In Compass Live has a Facebook page if you are a big Facebook user give us a like over there and um we post notices of when the show is coming up here's a reminder to log in to today's show when an archive is available is ready there's this in here yeah the recording of this week's show was available so if you are big and to use in Facebook give us a like maybe notified over there when things are happening so next week I hope you join us our topic is letters about literature read be inspired and inspired inspired not hollowing in the brain right back letters
