Hello,
My name is Mary Neuman. Along with Jennifer Ashby and Erin Kolb, I’m working through the Learning About Learning Circles course in preparation for facilitating a learning circle on Microsoft Word. I’m the Youth Services Librarian/Assistant Director at Asotin County Library in Clarkston WA. Jennifer Ashby and I were introduced to Learning Circles by Nico in Kansas City last December at the Digital Inclusion Cohort meeting for the Accelerating Promising Practices in Small & Rural Libraries IMLS grant. Learning with, and from, other people in a learning circle instead of being the ‘expert’ teacher opens up lots of possibilities for learning opportunities at our library.
