Program
The theme for the 31st national LOEX conference is "Reflective Teaching: A Bridge to Learning." As instruction librarians, in recent years we have focused most of our attention on two major areas: information literacy and instructional technology. As vitally important as these are, this conference offers the opportunity to step back for a moment and reflect on the very essentials of instruction: teaching and learning.
As we all know, effective teaching is more than technique. We also bring a lot of other talents and gifts to our teaching. Who is "the self" that teaches and what do we do to nurture that self? To grow as teachers? To find joy and fulfillment in what we do? Asking such questions is a part of being a reflective teacher.
By being reflective teachers we foster effective learning. What can we bring to our teaching that fully connects us to our students? How are we helping transform our libraries into learning libraries? How do we encourage our students to become lifelong learners?
All conference activities will take place at the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, located on the shore of Lake Monona in downtown Madison.
