Plan now to participate in a visit to UW-Madison's School of Education on Thursday, July 6. The theme "Sustaining a Sense of Place in a Digital World" will be interpreted in a variety of ways during this pre-conference of the Annual Conference of the American Library Annual to be held in Chicago during July 8 - 12. For a complete schedule and the registration form you may download, visit the Day Trip web page http://cimc.education.wisc.edu/preala.html
The registration fee is $45, which includes bus transportation, lunch, breaks, and materials. Pre-registration is required.
The importance of a sense of place to the development of high quality resource centers for teachers will be the focus as participants are introduced to the libraries, media centers and computing facilities of the School of Education through in-person tours of these exemplary resource centers, and discussions on serving the information and technology literacy needs of prospective and practicing teachers.
Participants will board a comfortable, air conditioned bus in downtown Chicago at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 6, for the trip to Madison. During the ride to Madison, participants will be introduced to Madison and the day's featured resource centers at the UW-Madison through videotapes and discussion. Upon arrival on campus, participants will tour the Center for Instructional Materials and Computing (CIMC), a teacher resource center which has been described as "a model for the state and the nation."
The lunch speaker is Education Professor Michael Streibel whose long-standing interest in the relationship of the virtual and physical environments fostering learning and communication.
During the afternoon, participants may choose to consult with CIMC staff about issues in serving the information, media and technology needs of teacher education. They may choose to visit other UW-Madison resource centers such as the Cooperative Children's Book Center
(CCBC), the Instructional Media Development Center, and the Pyle Center, the University of Wisconsin- Extension's state-of-the-art distance education and conference center.
The CCBC visit will provide a chance for participants to see the five manuscript drafts for Ellen Raskin's Newbery Award-winning novel "The Westing Game." This opportunity offers an unparalled glimpse into the creative process of writing, rewriting and editing that existed before digital technology became a tool for the creative process and for communication between authors and editors. For a preview of why this is such a fascinating opportunity, visit the CCBC web page devoted to the Raskin manuscripts http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/wisauth/raskin/intro.htm The CCBC is a noncirculating examination, study and research library for adults with an academic, professional or career interest in children's and young adult literature. CCBC Librarian Megan Schliesman will interpret CCBC collections and services for visitors interested in this aspect of the CCBC. Guests are invited to spend their time in the CCBC in whatever way they wish during the afternoon.
The Instructional Media Development Center (IMDC) is a design, development, presentation and production facility in the School of Education which offers a wide range of video conferencing and multimedia classroom facilities. IMDC staff will describe the role of design, multimedia, website, audio, video, computer and graphic production services in supporting the work of the School of Education.
The Pyle Center extends the historic Wisconsin Idea, "the borders of the campus are the borders of the State," to the digitial age and to a global audience. This full-service facility provides interactive multimedia classrooms, conference and meeting rooms, a computer lab, production suites, banquet and reception space, and other amenities.
Before boarding the bus for the return trip to Chicago, participants will be treated to a real taste of Wisconsin's world famous Babcock Hall Ice Cream. The return to Chicago will include opportunities for discussing the day's activities, networking with colleagues and reflecting upon a sense of place. Arrival in downtown Chicago is planned for 6:30 p.m.
