Teens, Tech and Programming

Earlier today, I presented a Webinar on Teens, Tech and Programming. Like you, I am in the process of putting together not only my Teen Tech Week programming, but in general I have been exploring how I can better incorporate technology into my programming.  So I went a little crazy with the research.  So here […]

July 29, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

I came into this Teen Librarian position all “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose” about pretty much everything.  I was revved up by library school classes that stressed the importance of Programming For Teens and introduced me to the high holy days:  Teen Read Week, Teen Tech Week, and the Summer Reading Program.  Teen Read […]

TPiB: TTW13- Check In at the Library

February 27, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

I don’t know why Teen Tech Week always sneaks up on me.  Maybe because March is always when summer reading planning seems to be at it’s fullest.  Or maybe because it always seems to fall during my school systems’ spring breaks.
