Not convinced? See what fellow students are saying about these courses:<\/p>\n

Series Programming for the Elementary Age<\/a> with Lisa M. Shaia<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving time to discuss with other childrens librarians was a great part of this experience.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell worth the time spent–great learning experience. Thank you!\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

Newbery Medal: Past, Present and Future<\/a> with K.T. Horning<\/p>\n

\u201cI thank K.T. and my classmates for helping me learn the ropes. It was a positive experience and I will try to register for more classes in the future.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did really love the Moodle interface, having never taken an online course I had very low expectations–and I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice it was.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

Information Literacy: From Preschool to High School<\/a> with Maryann Mori<\/p>\n

\u201cMs. Mori is an excellent teacher and very skilled at working within the online environment.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would definitely take another class with this instructor.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

Out of This World Youth Programming<\/a> with Angela Young<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt that the instructor provided a plethora of information, handouts and resources for our learning and use going forward. Very well done.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

\u201d\u009d I loved this course.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

Reading Instruction and Children\u2019s Books<\/a> with Katherine (Kate) Todd<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great to be able to take a course relevant to my job without having to take a college course – and learn the info I need to help my patrons.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciated being able to take instruction online and especially having the course be flexible for time. It would have been very difficult to take one that required a lot of regular real-time sessions, because I work full-time in the library.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe instructor put together great resources (online, PowerPoints, and pdfs) that I will find very helpful in the future (as well as I did in the class).\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
