Crafting a future for information literacy instruction requires innovative approaches to student engagement. This workshop will introduce participants to interactive technology tools like Nearpod and Goosechase and demonstrate their potential to foster collaboration, creativity, and active learning during library instruction sessions. Attendees will explore these tools from both the student and instructor perspectives, participate in hands-on activities, and experiment with designing their own interactive lesson. Facilitators will also share practical tips and examples of successful implementations to inspire participants' confident use of these tools in their own teaching practices.
Participants will: 1. explore interactive technology tools in order to identify their potential for fostering active engagement and collaboration in library instruction sessions.
2. evaluate the features and functionality of interactive technology tools in order to determine the best fit for their instructional goals and classroom context.
3. utilize collaborative online platforms and gamification elements in order to create a team-building experience in the classroom and foster a sense of community among students.
