Joyce Deaton
Indiana University Graduate Student and Librarian
Raleigh, NC
I am a school librarian in Raleigh, NC with over 20 years teaching from secondary to higher ed. I just completed a graduate certificate in "Learning Science, Media and Technology" during a year sabbatical. On one side of the coin I stay quite busy with information literacy and instructional design. On the other side I am deeply invested in exploring ways to support creativity in learning (creative writing and media production.) During the past year I did research in the UK and Ireland at museums, galleries and heritage sites and while a graduate student explored the world of Legos, self-directed learning in Makerspaces, new media and new directions in VR/AR.
