7. Our Information Age began, for all intents and purposes, in April
of 1993 when the Mosaic 1.0 browser made the World Wide
Web available—for free—not just for use but for contribution and
participation by anyone with access to the Internet.
Its open architecture, and its lack of a “director” or “owner”made
the potential for worldwide co-creation of knowledge, art,
science, literature, animation, and all the rest possible.

9. Horizon Report
A pp!
the
G et
“K-12 must address the increased blending of
formal and informal learning.”
“Students can take advantage of learning material
online, through games and programs they may
have on systems at home, and through their
extensive — and constantly available — social
networks”
http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2012-horizon-report-K12.pdf
http://www.nmc.org/

10. It makes sense to interact both synchronously and
asynchronously, formally or informally, at school, at home,
or on mobile devices.

11. Without question,
teachers owe it to
their students to
“keep up”

16. The Future Isn't About Mobile; It's About Mobility
People wanted information at their fingertips
and the convenience that came with digital
transactions.
In the social era it was all these things plus
social connectivity. Mobility means information,
convenience, and social all served up on the
go, across a variety of screen sizes and
devices.

18. A New Culture of Learning ~ Cultivating the
Imagination for a World of Constant Change:
Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown
The Internet has become a participatory medium, giving rise to an
environment that is constantly being changed and reshaped by the
participation itself, changing the flow of news, effecting tacit as well as
explicit knowledge, and embedding a new culture of learning.

19. It makes incredible sense to consider how ‘internet
spaces’ social software and mobile devices can be used to
leverage opportunities for learning.

20. The general capabilities included in the Australian
Curriculum are:
•
Literacy
•
Numeracy
•
Information and communication technology
capability
•
Critical and creative thinking
•
Personal and social capability
•
Ethical behaviour
•
Intercultural understanding.

21. The core attributes found in the ISTE and IASL standards include:
•intellectual curiosity and innovation
•ability to locate, select, evaluate and structure information
•problem solving and decision-making creative and critical thinking
•communication, negotiation and collaboration
skills

22. The core attributes found in the ISTE and IASL standards include:
•ethical and productive users and producers of media
•responsible and flexible users of social media
•active digital citizenship
•capacity to think across disciplines and form authentic knowledge
connections.

23. Teacher librarians can play a
leading role in schools in relation
to the social and ethical issues of
online publishing and usage,
cyber bullying, plagiarism and
copyright.

24. School libraries should be hubs
of professional development,
action research, and idea
experimentation as teacher
librarians work collaboratively
with students and teachers.

25. The spaces and places of libraries should
be physical and virtual, adopting and
adapting Web 2.0 new media tools to
enhance and envelop school learning
communities into a series of globally
powered learning commons—dynamic,
collaborative 21st century library
environments!

26. School libraries: The paradigm flip
Teachers and teacher librarians will then actively work
alongside students, sometimes leading, sometimes
following, and crafting an environment where students
can always know what, where and how to be the best
learners they can possibly be.

can be leaders in today’s
interactive enquiry environments.

33. Interfaces for discovery
What do we want from technology?
How can we create better experiences?

34. More content, streams of data,
topic structures, (theoretically)
better quality – all of these in
online environments require an
equivalent shift in our online
capabilities.

The abundance of information and flexibility of
technology will not in itself create more effective
learners without a complementary understanding and
capacity to use information.

36. Our students need to know how to juxtapose text,
sound, media and social connections in real time.

37. Digital mistake: Confusing
access to information and
technology with learning!

38. Digital mistake: forgetting to
remain adept and proficient
with new and emerging tools
and interfaces.

39. When your formative years are spent working your fingers
through apps and iPads, smartphones and YouTube, the digital
world and its habits can bend and shape not just how you
access information, but how you conceptualise it entirely.
Google creates the illusion
of accessibility
39

40. Being linear, Google obscures the interdependence of
information.

41. 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.

Google Scholar Alerts

47. By showing our students how to connect a
database information repository (such as
EBSCO, Gale, or JStor) or a local library
service with Google Scholar, we are helping
students broaden the scope of their information
seeking, while at the same time refining the
quality of the information response.

53. Content Curation

54. The natural limitations of search has
resulted in expansion of choice in
information curation.
The traditional social bookmarking sites like
diigo, pearltrees, Scoopit, and others
enable users to save information, while
products like pinterest allow for collection of
visual artifacts, allowing users to organize
them into infinite categories.
