MASL 51 Annual Conference 2024

One of the reasons traditional information literacy protocols (like the CRAAP test!) so often fail to remain relevant outside of a single lesson, lies less in what those tools include and more in what they're missing: an emphasis on human behavior and the ways in which emotions drive our decision making. In this session, featured speaker Jennifer LaGarde will unpack that connection and discuss ways to help our learners disrupt the reactions creators of mis-, di-s and mal- information are counting on when posting content online.

The best book talks are those delivered from the heart. It’s the way we share our love and passion for favorite titles and books that inspires students and colleagues. Join featured speaker, children’s book author, and librarian John Schu as he invites us to imagine the many ways books can foster connection and understanding. He’ll share some of the best new books and ways to easily incorporate them into your school reading culture to increase reading motivation, stamina, and growth.

Featured speaker and action-adventure writer Erik Slangerup guides participants through an individualized Venn diagram exercise to uncover the sources of our own inspiration—and what makes us unique sources of inspiration for others.
