possibilities. My first thought was to show them how to use a

Great news, Edward!
Who is the audience of the workshop?
Are you trying to convince administrators, or give ideas to tech people?
This will determine how hands on hands on is...
Do you have a 3D printer? A demo would make sense -- 3D printing is on its
way to mainstream, but still impressive
I just did an afternoon makerspaces in libraries workshop for 20 yesterday.
We had too much and didn't get through it all , but we had a 3d printer
demo, an exercise for an arduino, a raspberry pi and a library box to look
at, and we made bristlebots. We wanted to let folks explore thingiverse and

Jodi,
Thanks for the encouragement. Audience is unknown since it will just
depend on who registers. I had the good fortune to attend the Make a
Makerspace conference and was exposed to Sparkfun's version of the

Instead of offering a single project for the entire class to do, how about
creating several stations, each with a different type of project? Something
old school like soldering, a Pi, a 3-D printer, paper craft, etc... You could

I want to share news about MetaShotPpt, a tool that takes a folder of image
files with embedded descriptive metadata and imports them into a new PowerPoint
presentation. Each image is placed in a single slide and if the file has
embedded metadata, it is imported to the speaker notes.
Greg, this is fantastic! We've been using EMET and the XMP custom panel to
take data from Archivist toolkit, embed it into digital surrogate files and
then upload the files with embedded metadata into web galleries that display
the descriptive metadata alongside the image files.
Cheers!
That's great to hear Kari. I have also been testing a simpler import tool using
just the five basic Dublin Core fields found in most photo applications. If you
only need to import the basics for a web gallery, it might be easier. Let me
know and I can share it.
On that note, we also have
