The Screen is Flat

I invite you to join my colleagues, Ann York and F.R. "Fritz" Nordengren, as we discuss Reinventing Libraries in advance of our presentation at MERLOT ‘08

Here is how the MERLOT conference committee describes the conference:

The MERLOT International Conference (MIC) provides numerous opportunities to share, learn, and participate in conversations about teaching and learning with technology from experts and MERLOT users from around the world.

Trailblazers do more than keep people on the right path. They help people see where to begin and provide direction. How can educators and users of instructional technology around the world prepare for a future filled with technology that provides content at a faster-and-faster pace? How can instructional technology be used to enhance teaching and learning? Who will organize all this change? This year’s Conference Committee expects that we will all do this together.

MIC08 offers a full day of pre-conference workshops followed by two-and-one-half days of colleague to colleague presentations. The Conference also includes Corporate Sponsor presentation and exhibits, presentations from MERLOT Award winners, and opportunities to gather over food and beverage. The Pre-conference sessions begin on Thursday morning, August 7. The full conference agenda begins with a Welcome Reception Thursday evening and ends at noon on Sunday, August 10.

In preparation for our panel discusson, we want to hear from you. Please comment on the postings, or drop me a note.
