What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is... "The term 'Web 2.0' describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and Web design that aim to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the Web." Source: Wikipedia qtd. in Knowledge Quest qtd. in eLibrary

Why should you do Web 2.0 in your library???

...because Web 2.0...

...is high up on the Bloom's Taxonomy...

...is standards-based...

Standards: AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner Learners use skills, resources, & tools to: 1. Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. 2. Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. 3. Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society. 4. Pursue personal and aesthetic growth.

Standards: CDE (Draft) Model School Library Standards for Students 1. Students Access Information 2. Students Evaluate Information 3. Students Use Information 4. Students Integrate Information Literacy Skills into All Areas of Learning Source: http://www.cde.ca.gov/CI/cr/lb/documents/libstdfieldreviewoct09.doc

...supports curricular goals...

...supports school/district goals (WASC, SIP)...

...promotes professional development...

...raises rigor...

...increases engagement...

...increases creativity...

...encourages critical thinking...

...encourages collaboration...

...opens/expands lines of communication between teachers and students...

...opens/expands lines of communication between teachers and other teachers...

Web 2.0 makes the library (and its awesome librarian) seem super tech savvy, which...

...impresses students...

...impresses teachers...

...impresses parents...

...impresses administrators...

...which leads to tenure and a long and prosperous career!

(Wouldn't we all like that in this day and age?!)

Web 2.0 will likely cure cancer, curb global warming, end world hunger, and create world peace!

It slices. It dices. It's free and it's fun! :)

But mostly you should do Web 2.0 in your library because...

Web 3.0 is on the way!!!

Why Web 2.0 Rocks: "Education ... traditionally focuses on lectures and exams, forcing students to memorize complex descriptive terminologies and taxonomies. 'This conventional approach is at odds with knowledge about how people learn. ... Researchers have demonstrated that students learn more effectively when they are actively engaged in the learning process and self evaluation. [Web 2.0] applies this active learning approach using ... social computing technologies, such as Facebook, MySpace, blogs, cell phones, etc., to increase student engagement in botanical science and to address known recruitment and retention challenges." Source: the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Librarian as Information Sherpa: “These competencies [digital and media literacies] are, however, new forms of foundational learning. The consequences of neglecting this challenge can be dire. Students who are deeply immersed in the world of online communication outside of school may find classrooms that marginalize new technologies both tedious and irrelevant. For students who lack online access at home, schooling that fails to provide digital and media skills threatens to leave them at a profound social, economic, and cultural disadvantage.” Source: The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy,Recommendation 6

a humble reminder...

The internet was invented 17 years ago...* That means 17 years old or younger (and that's every single one of our students) has known the internet their whole lives! Source: http://www.nethistory.info/History%20of%20the%20Internet/web.html

Per Chris O'Neil, our kids "came out clicking..." Source: http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2008/06/29/millennial-librarianship/

Per Palfrey and Gasser, our kids "were born digital..." Source: http://www.amazon.com/Born-Digital-Understanding-Generation- Natives/dp/0465005152/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0

When was the last time you went to work and didn't touch a computer all day???

TLs (can) OWN 2.0 (if we want to)! We provide: tools space organization expertise We instruct: ….and then we stand back and let them practice! We maintain: The space The portals The stuff We connect Kids with stuff Kids with people [both real and imaginary] With teachers Teachers with stuff Source: Connie Williams, School Library Journal Webinar, 11-17-09.

The Guilt Trip... There are 3 types of teacher-librarians... 1. Those that read and participate in the online think-tank we call social media. 2. Those content to lurk but still hesitant (unwilling, or unable, for whatever reason) to contribute. and... 3. Those still stuck in the analog paradigm. Source: http://drapestakes.blogspot.com/2009/11/librarians-three-types-i-still-see.html

The Hope Trip... We hope this will help you be more of a 2.0 type of librarian. Thank you for listening. :)
