Geek Out, Don’t Freak Out

Posted on September 28th, 2005 by Liz

This is a great idea for a technology class in a library. The librarian had the students bring in their camera and manual, and the class was about learning how to use THEIR digital camera, flipping switches, opening flaps, taking pictures, etc.

I like this because it emphasizes curiosity and hands on, instead of the all knowing talking head instructor raining down principles from on high. Patrons literally get to geek out about their devices, instead of freak out.

I love it. Here’s the link to the original post:
