Gaming Librarian wanted – Deadline Feb 16th
I was alerted to this position (formal) this morning at a meeting. The posting closes in a couple of days.
I think it would be something cool (from this orignal post):
Â
Robert Gagne … in 1965 he published something called The Conditions of Learning. In it created a nine step process. This process has become known in the world of education as “Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction”. They are:
- Gain the learner’s attention
- Inform learners of objectives
- Stimulate recall of prior learning
- Present the content
- Provide learning guidance
- Elicit performance (practice)
- Assess performance
- Enhance retention and transfer to the job.
I think there is certainly something to be said about running any enterprise that relies on the transmission of information that is usually aways seen as dry and dusty in a manner that is engaging. So if us teachers out there think that we have it tough – just take a moment to think about the librarians out there that are playing defense for us.
