Deliverable 2 **WG Things - Learning 2.0: Professional Development for Teachers**

I went to an unconference a couple of years ago and was introduced to [|23 Things]. This blog is found at []. This is a Professional Development blog put up by the [|Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County] to facilitate learning Web 2.0 among their staff.

I am working with another librarian in my district so that we can try to implement a similar program. Our goal is to work with our technology director and our administration to select the web 2.0 tools that meet the instructional needs of our teachers and students. We are adding “librarian” value to this existing program by offering to work with teachers and their classes as they learn. We will collaborate and co-teach to ease the process.

So, I will set this up in similar fashion… Each week will be a new post and a new tool. I don’t want to copy the 23 Things format exactly, but I plan on borrowing the pieces that will work for us. For now, I am playing with a couple of different blogger services to select the best one for my purpose. I’ve got an account with blogger and edublog and I will compare them to PLCMC’s blogspot to see which features I like best.

Deliverable 3 I've created a proposal to our administration for **WG Things**. It is a prezi. The url for this presentation is [|http://prezi.com/-zi8cezfwc8v/c-librarians-are-21st-century-learning/]. I am happy with most everything in this presentation except our WG Things video at the end of the presentation. I would like to reshoot that video. I think we can improve the timing, the background and especially the delivery. Unfortunately, this is summer vacation for our school and we will not be back together until September. I hope to have this updated and improved by the middle of September and deliver the proposal early October. I welcome any and all feedback.
