I'm SO excited! I just enrolled in one of the online courses listed below and I'm
looking forward to learning new and fun things!! The HARDEST thing for me to do is
to decide WHICH course to take....what a list of great courses!
I'd encourage others to do this if you're looking for some new ideas, sparks of
creative thinking, or just some professional networking while learning something
new! I'm enrolled in the "Teaching Information Literacy Using Primary
Sources"---with Mary Alice Anderson as the teacher!!
Hope others take advantage of this opportunity! I'm looking forward to the program!
