December 7, 2015
1:30 pm - 2:30 pm CST (Register Now<http://www.amigos.org/civicrm/event/register?id=657&reset=1>)

Coding skills have become a very real entry point for employment, and identifying coding resources for teens, adults, and even children is becoming increasingly important. This provides an opportunity for libraries to step in and create a tangible difference within their communities by creating programming utilizing these resources. Luckily, there are a multitude of online - and often free - resources to assist coding students and teachers alike within these library programs.

Join us as we look at online coding resources such as Codeacademy and Code Avengers. We will also explore possible library programming ideas for teens and adults.

Learning Objectives:

  *   Identify at least two online coding resources
  *   Describe the benefits of hosting a coding program in your library
  *   Identify one possible resource or programming idea that you could utilize at your library

This event is open to group registration; no CEUs are available for this event.

Tech Topics: Privacy and Social Networks<https://www.amigos.org/node/1974>
December 2, 2015
10:30-12:30 Central

Facebook? Twitter? LinkedIn? SnapChat? Are you on one of these? Two? Three? Social networks are becoming more common and in libraries, expected. However, there has been a lot of discussion concerning how much each of these networks knows about you, how much they share with others, and who they are sharing with.
