“School librarians are involved with and responding to aninformation renaissance that is rewriting the world as we knowit. Knowledge; Information bias; distributed social and personalinformation; public and private data; global marketing; clashingcultures; a million voices commenting on a billion issues inblogs, wikis and podcasts. Information technology has becomea participatory medium, giving rise to an environment that isconstantly being changed and reshaped by the participationitself, changing the flow of news, effecting tacit as well asexplicit knowledge, and embedding a new culture of learning.

The Guardian has analysed half a million tweets sent withthe #notw hashtag over the past four days to capture how the scandal has resonated with the online community

Sense-making and the ability to assess the credibiility of information are paramount. Horizon Report 2011 K-12 EditionCloud computing is saving schools money and resources. It hasopened doors for more exibility, more space, more collaboration, and ultimately, morecreative uses of Internet resources for educators to incorporate in their classrooms. Mobile “always connected” devices are the doorways to the content and social tapestries of the Internet. The vast potential for learning. They embody the convergence of technology and support exible access to multiple sources of content. 21st century developments

..... because your knowledge and myknowledge, based on what searchresults we are served, may be verydifferent from each other. Siva Vaidhyanathan in The Googlization of Everything,

One day the web will answer all your questions Finding answers would be easy if computers could understand and collate all the information out there.cc licensed ﬂickr photo by : http://ﬂickr.com/photos/crystaljingsr/3914729343/

New developments in search, such as Google instant (that shows results as you type) have both enhanced & hindered the information seeking habits of students by responding quickly to search terms, and so making keyword customization seem less relevant.

By showing our students how to connect adatabase information repository (such asEBSCO, Gale, or JStor) or a local libraryservice with Google Scholar, we are helpingstudents broaden the scope of theirinformation seeking, while at the same timerefining the quality of the informationresponse.

On the other hand, the computational knowledge engine, Wolfram Alpha, allows teachers to explore complex questions without students having to calculate complex data problems, so that students can leap to analysis and synthesis of results.

These new search modalities require a more sophisticated response because of the interconnectedness of information sources and socially networked tagged repositories . There is a great deal of rich content available for students and teachers that is collaboratively built and shared, including blogs, wikis, images, videos, places, events, music, books and more. Searching for content requires wise information literacy strategies to avoid being lost in the information labyrinth.Gunnels, C. B., & Sisson, A. (2009). Confessions of a Librarian or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Google. Community & Junior College Libraries, 15(1), 15-21.

Think of the Web 3.0 environment as the portable, personal web, focused on the individual, on a life-stream, onconsolidating content, and which is powered by widgets, drag & drop, and mashups of user engagement. This socially powered web is exploding, and is the new baseline for all our internet and technology empowered interactions. cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) ﬂickr photo by Paco CT: http://ﬂickr.com/photos/paco_calvino/509970213/

Finding answers to an information querywould be easy if computers could understandand collate all the information ‘out there’.Finding solutions to an information problemwill, however, still always requiremetacognitive engagement with thecontent being found.

This is because the intelligence of theconnections will not help our students learnbetter unless the information literacystrategies we introduce them to actuallyensure critical thinking and problem solving.

When a technology focus subverts students’ conversation and development of critical thinking skills (and their ability to evaluate and analyse the information at hand), the mental processes that change knowledge from information to concept are not learned.Bomar, S. (2010). A School-Wide Instructional Framework for Evaluating Sources. Knowledge Quest, 38(3), 72-75.

Web 2.0 revolutionized the means at our disposal to filter and share information.Whether by managing information by social bookmarking or RSS reads and feeds, or communicating with our school community via blogs, wikis, podcasts, Youtube, or Facebook, students, teachers and school librarians have entered into digital conversations.

Content exploration and learning demands amix-and-match approach: • Search strategies • Evaluation strategies • Critical thinking & problem solving • Networked conversation & collaboration • Cloud computing environments • Ethical use and production of information • Information curation of personal and distributed knowledge.

!The importance of the school librarian is intrinsicallylinked to effective and responsive informationcuration & dissemination within & beyond the school.
