ALSC Fall 2011 Online Courses - True Stories
The five fall online courses from ALSC begin Monday, September 26. Registration is open for all five courses. That leaves plenty of time to answer any questions potential learners might have. To help answer those questions, these quotes were taken from previous participants of the courses below.
To sign up for courses or for more information, check out the ALSC Online Education page, http://www.ala.org/alsced. Other questions? Contact ALSC Program Officer Jenny Najduch (800) 545-2433 ext 4026 or jnajduch_at_ala.org.
The Caldecott Medal
"I knew nothing before taking this class and feel like I have learned much about art. I now look at picture books with delight and wonder and knowledge that I did not have previously."
"I appreciate the affordable classes since I cannot afford to attend conferences."
Connecting with 'Tween Readers
"I appreciated the instructor providing a bibliography of recommended books at the beginning of the course. The book discussions were also good, enabling us to understand another person's opinion on a particular book."
"I most appreciated the articles we read about 'tweens. The author discussions were also fun, and got me to read books I would not have otherwise picked up."
Reading Instruction and Children's Books
"It is great to be able to take a course relevant to my job without having to take a college course - and learn the info I need to help my patrons."
"Very well planned and organized course with a great support from
Kate Todd."
Series Programming for the Elementary School Age
"I also think it is absolutely wonderful to come away from the course with 20+ program ideas. I feel re-energized about programming as a result!"
"Having time to discuss with other childrens' librarians was a great part of this experience."
Introduction to Graphic Novels for Children
"I liked the chats. The instructor
answered promptly and was very informative. It made me feel very comfortable asking questions."
"I found that the exposure to graphic novels to children through the weekly assignments both through my work and the contributions of all of the other participants was extremely valuable."
