>> Paige Collins: My name is Paige Collins, and I'm a junior fellow on the Informal Learning Team, a part of the Center for Learning, Literacy, and Engagement. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Georgia with a bachelor of arts in history and classics. I will be continuing my education there this fall, pursuing a master of arts in history. My project, Informal Learning Design, centers around the creation of online library resources for children and families. Since the current pandemic has given all of us more time at home, we thought families might like to spend it sharing their stories with each other. That's why we designed an oral history activity that gets families to watch clips of interviews from the library's vast collections before conducting their own interviews. Once a draft was complete, we recruited families to prototype the activity and give us feedback on its strengths and weaknesses. Their input helped us design the best version of the activity for publication on the library's website. I was also a guest blogger for the blog, Best of the National Book Festival, in which I designed writing and thinking prompts around a talk by children's author, Kadir Nelson. Other aspects of the project included readings and developments in informal learning and museum education and participation in planning meetings for the library's new Learning Lab. I also attended the Teaching with Primary Sources Eastern Region Conference, an initiative to incorporate historical documents into K-12 education. I became further oriented to the world of informal learning through a survey of virtual programming available at a selection of benchmarking institutions. While my junior fellowship experience might've been a bit unconventional, I have to say, it was still quite remarkable.
