We live in a world that is constantly changing and connecting through creative and collaborative new technologies, media, and communications.  This has changed the way we teach and learn.  It has changed our spaces within libraries and schools. And it has changed the way we, as learners, makers and teachers, connect with each other and the world.  In this presentation, Shannon McClintock Miller will explore these changes in education and within the library while giving the participants a foundation to bring creative,    collaborative, and new experiences and learning to your school community while connecting outside of the walls to the world. You will be inspired and motivated to be the change and a connected, creative, and   collaborative educator too.

• Be inspired to Be The Change that you can be within education and to the students, teachers, and school communities they are part of.
• Reflect on how new technologies, media, and communications can change your space and practice.
• Explore how digital tools and social networks can be used to create, collaborate, and connect our learners to themselves, each other, and others around the world.
• Develop a network as a connected educator that can bring others to yourself and your students, teachers, and schools.
• Examine the maker movement and all of the wonderful tools and change it can bring to our young people and education.
