Connected Learning happens when a peer or adult can connect a young person’s interests and skills to real world opportunities. Whether it’s coding, cooking, or comic-con, libraries can easily nurture these interests through programming, and are well-positioned to connect kids and teens to future career possibilities through community relationships. In fact, most libraries are already doing this — they just don't realize it!
Join us as we discuss what connected learning is, review some best practices for working with youth in your community, and explore how you can utilize connected learning with intention at your library.
 
When you attend this workshop you will:
  • Dive into youth voice & choice
  • Understand the philosophy of Connected Learning as it relates to educational and career opportunities
  • Explore the principles of Connected Learning
  • Think about how to operationalize Connected Learning theory into practice through the lens of Computational Thinking
 
Attendees will receive mileage reimbursement, and lunch will be provided at no cost to you. In addition, attendees may apply for mini-grants.
 
Continuing education contact hours for the full day: 6.5
