I first attended the discussion for LITA’s Distance Learning Group. Seeing as how part of my job at OHIONET is going to be developing a distance learning training schedule, I figured its topics would be of interest–and I was right!Many of the librarians who attended were academic librarians–and they recounted some of the most successful technology integration strategies at their various libraries including, but not limited to:

• Using Twitter as a way of communicating such “immediate” things as printers not working, emergency closings, etc.
• Implementing a text-messaging service to alert those users that have signed up for the service of various library-related things
• Adding a “blog-like structure” to online classes in addition to any other type of e-classroom module for those users that are more familiar with the blog style
