  1. Prepared by Laura L. Moody San Francisco State University lmoody@sfsu.edu 415-405-0933 POSTER SESSIONKEEPING CURRENT IN THE CLASSROOM

  2. TIPS FOR THE CLASSROOM • MAKE SURE TO VARY VOCAL TONE AND MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH STUDENTS IN CLASS. • MAKE INSTRUCTION RELEVANT TO CLASS ASSIGNMENTS • DON’T BE AFRAID TO USE NEW TOOLS SUCH AS YOUTUBE, FLICKR, AND WIKIPEDIA 4. KEEP UP WITH THE MILLENNIALS BY USING SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES

  3. MOTIVATORS • ENTHUSIASM Speak with tonal variety and quality-no one likes to listen to a drone. Move around and show facial expressions-but not too much! Make direct eye contact with students in class-helps to read faces. • CLARITY Check in with the class every once in a while to make sure they are still with you. • ORGANIZATION Start session with a few traditional library resources, then wow’em with the non-traditional. • INTERACTION Leave some time at end of class to work directly with students. This helps to instill confidence and allows the librarian to remain approachable if students need further assistance.

  4. Integrated Library Instruction Session Raza 425 Comparative Music Folklore This course covers classic and contemporary Tejano; past and present nortemo and banda; roots to postmodern rock, R&B and pop; as well as Latin jazz and salsa. Detailed presentations and discussions of the musica of Caribbean, Mexican, as well Central and South Americans, both natives and immigrants, living in the United States are integrated throughout.

  5. YOUTUBE.COM Students today are used to using technologies such as You Tube to find information.

  6. Non-traditional Resources YOUTUBE.COM-they can see a performance.

  7. Non-traditional Resources Flickr.com also offers visual aids, and can Help the student understand what tags mean.

  8. FLICKR.COM Flickr is a very useful visual resource that can help motivate the student to find further information.

  9. WIKIPEDIA I’m constantly amazed at what I find in Wikipedia. Offers the opportunity to talk to class about evaluation of web resources, too. Wikipedia is user friendly and will lead students to otherresources.

  10. SYNTHESIZE Wikipedia is reliable and is a good place tostart. Flickr.com offers photographs Search YouTube for Tex- Mex music Students can watch videos of musicians performing these types of music.

  11. SOCIAL NETWORK SITES Most everyone is aware of MySpace and Facebook…. I’ve recently set up a space on Windows Live Spaces, which allows users to set up pages that can be openly visited by members of the general public, or you can set up the system to just allow those you invite. You can set up something for a class and the students can do there when they are available. You can post videos, booklists, and set up an IM service through MEEBO. http://spaces.live.com/
