           Roy Lundin Memorial Address
    In Schools That Face The Future:-Libraries
                      Matter


  Diversity Challenge Resilience: School Libraries in Action - The 12th Biennial School Library Association of
          Queensland, the 39th International Association of School Librarianship Annual Conference
               incorporating the 14th International Forum on Research in School Librarianship,

SUB TITLE

      AN UPDATE / REFRESHER ON SOME THINGS THAT
       WILL CHALLENGE YOU AND SOME THINGS THAT
                   WILL REASSURE YOU




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10                    2
AIMS
  To Analyze The Probable Characteristics Of A “Transparent
  Democracy” Environment
  To Suggest CAUSES as well as SYMPTOMS Of Some Of The
  Major Challenges For Futures Oriented Schools Using
  Digital Technologies
  To Suggest Some SOLUTION APPROACHES- Including
  Examples for the Roles of Librarians
  To Provide Some USEFUL STIMULUS MATERIALS For
  Further Use by Librarians



PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
FUTURES ORIENTED LEARNING SKILLS

  CONTINUOUS PARTIAL ATTENTION ( Seligman)
  SCANNING FOR OPPORTUNITIES (SEEING LINKAGES
  AND CONNECTIONS)
                            Built Upon
Speed Reading ( i.e. 21st C Literacy is essential)
Making Initial Decisions Quickly about “ Big Ideas” and the Value of
  that Content. E.G:-
   * Really Useful- Need to go Back and Look Again
   * Could Be Useful- I Know Where It Is When I Need It
   * Can’t Use It- Move On

 PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
KEY AREAS TO BE COVERED
  Public Pressures-”The Transparent Democracy”
  Specific issues and Pressures from a “Transparent
  Democracy”
  Australian Societal Trends
  Change Pressures from New Technologies
  Schools As Networked Learning Communities
  Generational Differences in Learning
  Teachers, Students And Learning Communities
  Some Action Suggestions For Librarians as Leaders
  in Schools

PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
MAIN MESSAGES
  Futures Oriented Schools Are Very Different From The Ones
  That Many Of You, And I Learned In, And Trained To Teach In
  THE SCRUTINY AND EXPECTATIONS OF THE
  AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY ARE ALSO VERY DIFFERENT
  Schools are developing Into Networked Learning Communities
  The main investment and activity with I.C.T. for students and
  staff is IN THE HOME/OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL
  The Library is central to the evolution of relevant schooling
    Excellent Ref:-Lee M., Finger, G.(2010) Developing a Networked School
    Community ACER




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
The Library as an iCentre
Hay 2010,151: “An iCentre is the central facility within the school
  where information, technology, learning and teaching needs are
  supported by qualified information and technology specialists”
At the most conceptual level the iCentre is an amalgam of
  the following functions:-
    The School Librarian taking leadership roles as the Chief
    Information Officer of the school
    The iCentre becoming the location for all ICT support and
    advice
    The iCentre becoming an exemplar centre of a digital
    learning location and support facility

Teachers Need To Become:- “KNOWLEDGE NAVIGATORS’
and ‘MENTORS’
My role in this Presentation is to ‘Knowledge Navigate’ you
through the Ideas, Issues and Challenges of The Powerpoint and
Accompanying e-Handout
The Aim is to Stimulate Your Thinking and in the Process To
Provide You with Relevant Ideas That You can Use to discuss in
this Conference and Later Back In Your Library
There is TOO MUCH CONTENT-Just As in Web Based Learning
Environments
Print Based Handouts are environmentally unfriendly
PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
WE HAVE INCREASED PUBLIC SCRUTINY IN MANY WAYS:-
    AS PUBLIC POLICY
       e.g. “mySchool” and PROPOSED “myUniversity” / “my Hospital” Websites
       National CURRICULUM and NAPLAN Testing
    AS A RECOGNITION OF IMPACT OF I.C.T. ON PUBLIC AND
    EMPLOYEE BEHAVIOUR(S)
      WIKILEAKS / FACEBOOK / TWITTER / AVATARS /Second Life /
      Informal Rating Sites
    AS A RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY e.g. CSR
    AS LEGAL CONFORMANCE E.G. FOI / WHISTLEBLOWER Legislations
    OTHER? e.g. As Competitive Advantage? State vs Non State
    Schools
         (THE N.B.N. WILL ACCELERATE THIS TREND)

PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
SOME EXAMPLES
  Great public interest and commentary on mySchool website
  24/7 Scrutiny of Selected Politicians (and famous people)
  “Ball by ball” Scrutiny of referees and officials in sport
  24/7 Digital News channels and commentaries e.g. new ABC
  free to air news channel/ New Delhi C’wealth Games
  Constant scrutiny of performance of hospitals/ medical
  practitioners e.g. Internet diagnoses
  Web based social networking e.g. Facebook
  Pressure on Legal Systems e.g. iPad as legal evidence / Use of
  social networking sites to find ‘natural’ parents
  Confident (and Careless) Younger Users of I.C.T.


PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
Current commentaries on
mySchool.com.au
  Australian College of Educators’ Journal:-Professional Educator
  9,2 June 2010 has three articles evaluating / commenting on
  mySchool
    Margaret Clark CEO ACE:- “Evaluating MySchool”
    Ben Jensen:- “ What We Give Them”
    Jeremy Ludowyke:- “ Bursting the MySchool Bubble”




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
THE MORAL AND ETHICAL
MESSAGES OF CURRENT SOCIETY
  The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) Triggered By The Sub
  Prime Market Excesses Of The USA Home Mortgage
  Business Has Affected The Global Financial System And
  Created A Severe Recession Which Is Still Happening –
  especially overseas
  Archbishop George Pell:-We Live In A Time Of Global
  Moral Crisis ( Easter 2009)
  Our Public Morals And Ethics Have Been Found Wanting
  (e.g. GFC / NSW-Wollongong CC/ ICAC)
  Australians emphasize “Rights” not “Responsibilities”

PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
SO
  EVERYONE IS BEING PRESSURED TO WORK
  DIFFERENTLY
  One View:- All Professional and Organizational providers
  are under pressure to change
  Paranoia View:- They Are Not out Just To Get You, They Are
  Out To Get EVERYBODY




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
A Range Of Pressures Is Exerting Greater
  Scrutiny Of Organizational Activities- Including but
  more than Schools and their Libraries!
  I.C.T. Based Pressures Are VERY STRONG
  More Educated Employees / The General Public
  Have Different and Higher Expectations Of
  Customer Service And Employee Roles
  School Leaders And Teachers Have To Work
  Differently ( SMARTER NOT HARDER)
  Librarians Lead As Chief Information Officers,
  And Promote The Library As The ‘Driver’ Of I.C.T.
  Learning (THE iCentre)

PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
WHAT PERSPECTIVE DO YOU WORK FROM-
  1?
    Optimists View:- THAT IDEA IS PROMISING- HOW CAN
    I GET IT TO WORK IN MY SCHOOL?

    Pessimists View:- I CAN IMMEDIATELY SEE ALL THE
    REASONS WHY THAT IDEA WON’T WORK!




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
                                                       17
WHAT PERSPECTIVE DO YOU WORK FROM-
        2?
          BEWARE THE “IDEA ASSASSIN”
          “ We Tried That Once at West OOBERGALABIE School in
          1998 and it didn’t work then- SO IT DOESN’T WORK!”
          The Idea Assassin delights in generalizing from the ‘Single
          Case Example’




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10                                      18

   PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
THE LATEST(?) 2010 SCENE
  Australia- a TWO PART ECONOMY:-
     BOOMING ( WA AND QLD)
     DOLDRUMS ( NSW, VIC)
  CITY vs COUNTRY ATTITUDES AND LIFESTYLES
  Digital Access RICH versus Digital Access POOR
  POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY AT FEDERAL LEVEL
  WITH A HUNG PARLIAMENT
      LABOR- NATIONAL BROADBAND NETWORK (OPTICAL
     FIBRE)-EST $A 43BN
     SUDDEN EMPHASIS ON:- REGIONS / CARBON TAX /
     EUTHANASIA

BUSINESS IS USING WEB 2.0!
 For an example of an Australian small business initiative on
 how to use moodle go to:-
             http://lms.demo.microsolve.com.au.
Microsolve is a Wollongong I.C.T. support business that offers
 an illustratory ‘moodle’ learning website for education e.g.
 high schools, as well as businesses to use
A GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCE
        EXAMPLE
          If You Started Work 25 Years Ago:-
             There were no CD’s (they were just about to be introduced)
             DVD’s hadn’t been invented
             Bob Hawke was PM and Neville Wran was NSW Premier
             No:- Laptops / I-Pods /mobile phones/ Digital Cameras/
             Blackberrys/ iPhones/ Internet ( i.e. NO
             email/Facebook/Google/ Twitter)
             Coke was a drink / Grass was mown /Pot was something you
             cooked in/ Gay meant happy
             Letters /Telegrams/ Faxes/ Cheques/ Travellers’ Cheques/
             Bankcard were main ways of communicating and paying


PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
A CENTURY OF DIFFERENCE
 SELECTED STATISTICS FROM 1910 (USA)
  8% OF HOMES HAD A TELEPHONE
  AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY:- 47 YEARS
  14% OF HOMES HAD BATHTUBS
  95% OF BIRTHS WERE AT HOME AND 90% OF DOCTORS
  HAD NO COLLEGE LEVEL EDUCATION
  TALLEST STRUCTURE IN WORLD:- EIFFEL TOWER
  AVERAGE US WAGE WAS $200-$400 PER YEAR
    COFFEE WAS .15C PER POUND
WE NEED TO LIVE IN A SOCIETY NOT
        AN ECONOMY
              SENGE (2007):-
               The Over Riding Purpose of a School for the 21 C is
               to prepare students to survive in the 21 C
               21 C issues:- Global Warming / Water /
               Environment/ Population Pressures/ Sustainability
               Teachers Need to Be “Futurists”
               We Need to Develop Learning as well as Teaching




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
1st Wave (agrarian) society- Technology related to
  SURVIVAL.
  2nd Wave (industrial) society- Technology related to
  PRODUCTION
  3rd Wave (information) society- Technology related to
  KNOWLEDGE.
      ( A Transparent Democracy is a later form of an
                      Information Society)




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
The 'Information' Revolution - INITIALLY based on
       silicon chip developments;
       The 'Bio-Technologies' Revolution - based on DNA /
       RNA research;
       The 'Ecological' Revolution - understanding the inter-
       relatedness of long cycle systems.
       The ‘Advanced Materials’ Revolution’-replacing the Fe and
       C atom materials
       Nano / Micro Technology’ Revolution-development of
       “Micro World” processes



PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
WE WILL CONCENTRATE ON I.C.T.
TECHNOLOGIES

   But-A BIG SLEEPER is the emerging knowledge that a Change in
                 DNA/RNA occurs when we learn!

BALANCING I.C.T. COMPETENCIES WITH
        MORAL AND EMOTIONAL GROWTH

          Our Younger Staff/ Students Are PERCEIVED as Technically
          Very Competent / Advanced In I.C.T. Based Skills

          Their Capabilities Need To Be Matched With Accompanying
          Growth In Moral And Ethical Skills




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
Typical Challenges For Digital Generation
        Learners ( A CIO’s Checklist!)
        Issues for the Digital Generation:-
        1. Copyright and protection of Intellectual property ( e.g. plagiarism)
        2. Protection of Privacy ( in a world which is creating more e-scrutiny)
        3. Protocols of learning online ( e.g. chat / discussion / notice boards)
        4. Conduct / Protocols for e-communication (e.g. mobile phone protocols, sms,
            email, twitter and Facebook protocols)/ Avatar Behaviours e.g. in Second Life
        5. Cyber-bullying
        6. Protecting against e-predators ( Identity theft, grooming, paedophilia, avatar
            relationships)
        7. Ethical use of information harvested on the web. (identity theft, plagiarism)
        8. Building and upgrading digital competencies for learning ( A Google search
            usually provides large quantities of unsorted, low grade information)
        9. Acceptance that digital learning has adult implications that can be triggered by
            individual behaviour (s) at any age- if you can access a web capable device
        10. Acceptance of adult/ legal concerns about e.g. sexting / cyber bullying etc
        11. DEVELOPING AND PROTECTING THEIR CYBER IMAGE AND IDENTITY

MESSAGES-
        KEY MESSAGES-2
          YOUNGER GENERATION LEARNERS AND TEACHERS
          ARE READY TO ADOPT AND USE TECHNOLOGY
          BASED LEARNING
                           At The Same Time As
          THEY ARE YEARNING FOR GUIDANCE ON “THE
          MEANING OF LIFE” AND “SEEKING VALUES”
                                    And
        They Are NOT as Technically Smart As We Assume They Are-
          see following



PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
KEY MESSAGES-3
          IMPROVING LEARNING CAPABILITIES With The Use Of
          Technology Is Not Sufficient
          We Need To Improve The Capabilities Of Learners To Make
          ETHICAL AND MORAL DECISIONS About How To Use
          Their New Technology Based Capabilities
          RELEVANCE To Current And Future Issues Is Extremely
          Important To Younger Generation Learners

Digital Natives vs. Digital
        Immigrants
          Marc Prensky (2005,9) makes a distinction between ‘Digital
          Immigrants’ (like us) and ‘Digital Natives’ (like our children).
            Digital natives are ‘native speakers of technology, fluent in the
          digital language of computers, video games, and the Internet.
          He calls those of us who were not born in this digital age as digital
          immigrants ‘who have adopted many aspects of the technology but just
          like those who learn another language later in life, we retain an ‘accent’
          because we still have one foot in the past’.
        Comment
        This well meant observation has been used as the basis of the view:-
         “young people are expert at technology so they are OK on their
                                              own”



PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
The Facts:- Digital Capabilities of
Younger Learners-1
Research Based Australian Findings:-
  The information literacy of young people has not improved
  with their greater access to technology
  Young people have unsophisticated ‘mental maps’ of what the
  Internet is and do not appreciate that it is a collection of
  networked resources from different providers
  Many young people do not find library sponsored resources
  intuitive and therefore prefer to use Google or Yahoo instead
  As a result a search engine becomes their primary ‘brand’
  that they associate with the internet-and they tend to adopt the
  tools their friends use

PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
Digital Capabilities of Younger
 Learners-2
The speed of young people’s web searching means they have little
time for evaluating for relevance, accuracy, or authority, of the
obtained information
They move rapidly from source to source and spend little time reading
or digesting the information, and have difficulty making relevant
judgements about the pages they retrieve
Observations show that boys scan differently to girls, and that
young people scan online pages very quickly (boys rely more on
hyperlinks)
Young people have a poor understanding of their information needs,
and therefore have difficulty in developing effective search
strategies
 PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
Digital Capabilities of Younger
Learners-3
  They make very little use of advanced search facilities, and
  assume that search engines ‘understand’ their queries
  If they obtain many search ‘hits’, young people find it difficult to
  assess the relevance of the materials presented and tend to save
  or print with little more than a glance at the materials

    Ref:-Rowlands and Nicholas (2008) cited in Lee and Finger
                         2010,145-146.

General Literacy Levels in Australian Society
The most recent ABS Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey
(based on data collected in 2006 but published in 2008):-
  Prose Literacy (46% of respondents were below satisfactory -and
  26% of University graduates are below satisfactory)
  Document Literacy (47% of respondents below satisfactory)
  Numeracy Literacy (53% of respondents below satisfactory)
  Problem Solving Literacy (70% are below satisfactory)
  Health Literacy (60% are below satisfactory)




 PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
SOME SOCIAL / TECHNOLOGY BASED
    TRENDS-1
     Fewer Children + Greater Choices For Women
     State Assuming Responsibility For Behaviour(s) With
     Accompanying Outcomes:-
       Diminishing Of Individual Freedom /Choice And
       Growth Of Litigation
     Growing Awareness:-We Have All This Stuff and We Work Really
     Hard- IS THIS ALL THERE IS TO LIFE?




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
                                                                    41
SOME SOCIAL / TECHNOLOGY BASED
    TRENDS-2
      Increased Emphasis On Consumers And Customer
      ‘Rights’ –the Serial Complainer
       Car Based Societies Have Dispersed Activities And
      Facilities Beyond “Local”
      Environmental Factors encouraging “Local” Again
      Global Communications Mean We All Know About
      ‘Something Happened’
         E.g. Australian Crime Rates are falling but perception / media
         image is:- “Its more dangerous out there”

                                     H                                42
OUTCOMES FOR SCHOOLS AND
  CHILDREN
     THE HELICOPTER PARENT FUSSING OVER ‘THEIR’ KID
     LESSENING OF SCHOOL –PARENT PARTNERSHIP MINDSETS
     CHILDREN’S PERSPECTIVES:-
        MOST ADULTS ARE DANGEROUS
       UNSUPERVISED PLAY IS DANGEROUS
       RISK IS UNACCEPTABLE
       ITS SOMEONE ELSE’S FAULT WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
       I AM IMPORTANT AND MY NEEDS COME FIRST
     THESE ARE OFTEN THE FOUNDATIONS FOR
     CHILDREN’S USING / EXPLORING THE DIGITAL
     WORLD

Some Pertinent Questions!

             McKenzie puzzles over a digital    ‘A similar question might well be
               paradox. “How can it be,"        asked about the integration of new
                                                technologies into education:
               Stanford Professor Larry Cuban
               once asked:-
                                                “How can it be that so
                 "that so much school           much has been invested in
                reform has taken place          equipping and wiring
                                                schools, yet few teachers
                over the last century, yet      are using the new
                schooling appears pretty        technologies on a frequent
                much the same as it's           and sustained basis to
                                                enhance student
                always been?"                   learning?”



PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
SOME POSSIBLE ANSWERS
INSIDE SCHOOLS                   OUTSIDE SCHOOLS
  Limited Funding for I.C.T.      Serious funding For Home
  Slow Take-up and use By         / Community based I.C.T.
  Older Generation who            Rapid Take-up and use,
  have retained control over      with Older generation
  I.C.T. usage                    displaying much trust
  Suspicion of “ New Ways of      Couldn’t care less about
  Learning?”                      good or bad, I ‘m just
                                  “Doing It”



PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
SO
                                 If We Are Not Careful-

          “WE ALL NEED LEARNING, BUT WE MAY NOT NEED
                            SCHOOLS”




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10

The Global Paradox
  THE “GLOBAL PARADOX”
     (JOHN NAISBITT 1994)

  THE WORLD IS GETTING MORE ‘GLOBAL’
          AT THE SAME TIME AS
  THE WORLD IS GETTING MORE ‘LOCAL




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
So-A Value Adding School
Understands
  A School needs to Assist Students With-
  “MAKING A LIVING” WHICH IS INCREASINGLY A
  GLOBAL ISSUE
               AT THE SAME TIME AS THEY NEED TO

  “MAKING A LIFE” WHICH IS BECOMING A LOCAL ISSUE




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
SOME POSSIBLE WAYS FORWARD
A STARTING POINT
  Our Students Are Technically Very Competent / Advanced In
  I.C.T. Based Skills – In Their Actions And Opinions Anyway
  Their Capabilities Need To Be Matched With Accompanying
  Growth In Moral And Ethical Skills
   Most Of The I.C.T. Capabilities And Investments Are
  Outside Of The School




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
A RECOMMENDED APPROACH IN A
“TRANSPARENT DEMOCRACY”

                    WHEREVER POSSIBLE:-

                       SPEAK WITH DATA




PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
Research Based Action Guidelines
     STAFF ARE THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL And Developing Their (Positive)
    Attitudes To I.C.T.Will Be A Key Success Factor (Concept 1)
* Many Of The Educational Practices With Which Current Teachers And Schools Are Skilled
    In ARE NON I.C.T. BASED, And Were Derived To Meet The Needs Of A Previous Society,
    And Are Needed Less And Less By Current And Future Societies (Concept 2)
* ‘Older’ Methods Of Leadership Are LESS AND LESS EFFECTIVE With Younger
    Generations And In Meeting The Needs Of A Post Industrial Society (Concept 3)
* I.C.T. Based Learning Will Initially Be Based On Existing Practices But Over Time Will
    Create Interest And Capabilities To Move TO NEW WAYS OF WORKING IN SCHOOLS
    (Concept 4)
* Younger Generations Are Extremely Comfortable And Confident With I.C.T. Based
    Learning, And Will WELCOME ITS GREATER USAGE In Schools And Learning
    (Concept 5)
* Technology In Itself Is Not The Primary Issue-The Leadership Criterion Applied To
    Selecting and Using Technology Should Be:-“DOES IT ADDVALUE TO THE KEY
    PROCESSES AND OUTCOMES We Have Selected As Important For The Success Of This
    School?” (Concept 6)
• Effective Schools That Maximise Student Learning Are Those Schools That Focus On
    MAKING THEIR STAFF AS PROFESSIONAL AND CONFIDENT AS POSSIBLE IN
    THEVALUE ADDING USAGE OF I.C.T. (Concept 7)
     PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
DISTRIBUTED LEADERSHIP
THE LIBRARY NEEDS TO LEAD WITH OTHER
 TO:-
 Enhancing The Learning Of Younger Generation
 Learners / Teachers And Parents
 Developing Leadership Capabilities Based On
 Emotional And Moral Intelligence
 Understandings And Capabilities
 Activating Partnerships Within And Between
 Schools And Their External And Internal
 Communities
    Partnerships On E.G. Myschool Data / Outstanding
    Teacher Data / Etc
PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
A Deliberate Linkage
  Does it (I.C.T.) Add Value to the key Processes and
  Outcomes We Have Selected As Important for The Success
  Of The School?
                            Linked To:-
  A Transparent Democracy is creating a requirement to
  identify the key processes and use, report and defend them in
  acceptable ways

“TRANSPARENT DEMOCRACY” ISSUES
       WE MUST ASSUME:- MUCH GREATER SCRUTINY OF
       SCHOOLS/ TEACHING AND EDUCATION:-
     PROACTIVE:-
       What Data / Information will be selected and promoted By YOU /
       By your LIBRARY/SCHOOL/SYSTEM/ PROFESSIONAL
       GROUP?
     REACTIVE:-
       What Are Plans For Reacting To Others’ Use of Data and
       Information?
       i.e. How YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARY promote / defend its
       professional and members’ interests through electronically
       accessible capabilities and strategies?

62      PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
Some Action Focus Points

      What are the Important Processes and Outcomes
      That Contribute / Add Value To Our School? (See
      next slide)
      What Are The Key Measures That Can Be Made Of
      These Important Ones?
      How Can We Make them Useful To Us?
      How Will We Select, Measure and Report?



63    PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
Action Recommendations
     School Leaders should act to ensure that:-
        Schools Make Much Greater Use of the Community Based I.C.T. Resources and develop
        networks of Networked Learning Communities that are based on active partnerships between
        the I.C.T. capabilities of the home and those of the school.
        Focus on Developing STAFF Capabilities
        School Librarians and School iCentres need to become central agencies in the
        staff development upgrades of staff, students and parents as the networked learning
        community emerges
            iCentres should promote adaptive staff development which must be developed using
            “targeting” techniques such as risk management applied to staff development choices, if the
            wide range of challenges and needs is to be met in upgrading teachers and leaders in our
            schools
            Librarians need to exert a leadership role in the ICT support of teachers and leaders by
            developing into the Chief Information Officer (CIO) Role- a role which will require them
            to remain current in the developing technologies and recommended options, to provide
            effective leadership in selecting wisely from I.C.T. options and usages, and be available to
            ‘project manage’ and ‘house’ the actual approaches developed
        In a Transparent Democracy Environment :- SPEAK WITH DATA



64        PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
ADDING VALUE
  MH Selected “Process” Indicators:-
    “ A school of choice” with waiting lists
    Closure would be strongly resisted by its community
    Graduates are sought after and prized
    Graduates support their strong alma mater
    Strong networks of influence
    Advice sought and taken by business, community
    Exemplar for the profession especially in use of iCentres

  • 36. Digital Natives vs. Digital Immigrants Marc Prensky (2005,9) makes a distinction between ‘Digital Immigrants’ (like us) and ‘Digital Natives’ (like our children). Digital natives are ‘native speakers of technology, fluent in the digital language of computers, video games, and the Internet. He calls those of us who were not born in this digital age as digital immigrants ‘who have adopted many aspects of the technology but just like those who learn another language later in life, we retain an ‘accent’ because we still have one foot in the past’. Comment This well meant observation has been used as the basis of the view:- “young people are expert at technology so they are OK on their own” PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
  • 37. The Facts:- Digital Capabilities of Younger Learners-1 Research Based Australian Findings:- The information literacy of young people has not improved with their greater access to technology Young people have unsophisticated ‘mental maps’ of what the Internet is and do not appreciate that it is a collection of networked resources from different providers Many young people do not find library sponsored resources intuitive and therefore prefer to use Google or Yahoo instead As a result a search engine becomes their primary ‘brand’ that they associate with the internet-and they tend to adopt the tools their friends use PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
  • 38. Digital Capabilities of Younger Learners-2 The speed of young people’s web searching means they have little time for evaluating for relevance, accuracy, or authority, of the obtained information They move rapidly from source to source and spend little time reading or digesting the information, and have difficulty making relevant judgements about the pages they retrieve Observations show that boys scan differently to girls, and that young people scan online pages very quickly (boys rely more on hyperlinks) Young people have a poor understanding of their information needs, and therefore have difficulty in developing effective search strategies PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
  • 39. Digital Capabilities of Younger Learners-3 They make very little use of advanced search facilities, and assume that search engines ‘understand’ their queries If they obtain many search ‘hits’, young people find it difficult to assess the relevance of the materials presented and tend to save or print with little more than a glance at the materials Ref:-Rowlands and Nicholas (2008) cited in Lee and Finger 2010,145-146.

Based Learning Will Initially Be Based On Existing Practices But Over Time Will Create Interest And Capabilities To Move TO NEW WAYS OF WORKING IN SCHOOLS (Concept 4) * Younger Generations Are Extremely Comfortable And Confident With I.C.T. Based Learning, And Will WELCOME ITS GREATER USAGE In Schools And Learning (Concept 5) * Technology In Itself Is Not The Primary Issue-The Leadership Criterion Applied To Selecting and Using Technology Should Be:-“DOES IT ADDVALUE TO THE KEY PROCESSES AND OUTCOMES We Have Selected As Important For The Success Of This School?” (Concept 6) • Effective Schools That Maximise Student Learning Are Those Schools That Focus On MAKING THEIR STAFF AS PROFESSIONAL AND CONFIDENT AS POSSIBLE IN THEVALUE ADDING USAGE OF I.C.T.

Focus on Developing STAFF Capabilities School Librarians and School iCentres need to become central agencies in the staff development upgrades of staff, students and parents as the networked learning community emerges iCentres should promote adaptive staff development which must be developed using “targeting” techniques such as risk management applied to staff development choices, if the wide range of challenges and needs is to be met in upgrading teachers and leaders in our schools Librarians need to exert a leadership role in the ICT support of teachers and leaders by developing into the Chief Information Officer (CIO) Role- a role which will require them to remain current in the developing technologies and recommended options, to provide effective leadership in selecting wisely from I.C.T. options and usages, and be available to ‘project manage’ and ‘house’ the actual approaches developed In a Transparent Democracy Environment :- SPEAK WITH DATA 64 PROFESSOR MICHAEL HOUGH.SEP 10
