Content Consumption AND Creation in Authentic Contexts Practices of Participatory Across Multiple Subjects Areas Learning and Play and Student Interests The Unquiet Library: A Makerspace Culture of Learning Affinity Spaces: Formal and Guided Inquiry, Tinkering, and Informal Communities of Messy Learning LearningBuffy Hamilton, July 2012
“While we sit here and debate when we deliver our lectures, or how long they are, or in what channels; the real flip is already occurring. The lecture? The long form or short form, oratory? That is not the point of this. They all have a place. No, the real flip is facultyare losing control. The real flip is from us – LIS faculty –thinking we have the content and we are just debatingthe delivery to the truth that we need to relearn the content continuously right along side our students.” Dr. R. David Lankes, “Duct Tape, 3D Printing, and Libraries of the Future” http://quartz.syr.edu/blog/?p=1400&cpage=1#comment-7944
“That last bit, the relearning bit, that is crucial. This is notsimply ceding control, or turning education into one long do it yourself project. There is value in a good teacher and a good researcher – they will always have a strong ability to guide. No, it is about realizing that truly co-owning a curriculum, or library program, requires constant reinvention if for nothing else than applying it to new contexts.” Dr. R. David Lankes, “Duct Tape, 3D Printing, and Libraries of the Future” http://quartz.syr.edu/blog/?p=1400&cpage=1#comment-7944
