The Education graduate program has arranged to showcase their latest projects and procedures with a library wide poster session. Students create demos and visibles about their research and classroom innovations so others can get ideas and explore new methods. This is the first year they have organized the event, and we weren't quite sure what to expect. They divided the evening into two time slots so that every student would have a chance to present their material.
I was delighted to have reference desk duty during the event, and was pleasantly surprised at the high attendance and buzz of excited participation. How wonderful that teachers are teachable! I saw the president, the academic dean and a number of other administrators come through not to mention other faculty (not just from the Education division) and lots of community members (many of whom are teachers).
Questions and answers abounded in the interchange between presenters and attendees. It was a great evening, one I am sure will be repeated often. Kudos to the Education department for a job well done.
