Our Information Age really began
in April of 1993when the Mosaic 1.0 browser made the World WideWeb available for contribution and participation byanyone with access to the Internet.For the first time we had possibilities for worldwideco-creation of knowledge, art, science, literature,animation, and all the rest possible.

DATA Examples of such data sets range from billions of Google searches conducted by millions of users to the data collected by millions of weather sensors around the globe to all the purchases of British supermarket shoppers.

Google has been ahead of
public health authorities in monitoring fluoutbreaks by compiling public searches for flu-related information bygeography.

Predictive Medical Technologies analyzesrecords of

Transform expertise in working with metadata into expertise in working with ontologies or models of knowledge.

Whereas traditional librarymetadata has always
been focusedon helping humans find and make use ofinformation, linked data ontologiesare focused on helping machines find andmake use of information. cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo by tarotastic: http://flickr.com/photos/tjt195/30916171/

The International Society for Technology
in Education (ISTE) and the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) have collaborated with leaders from higher education, industry, and K–12 education to develop an operational definition of computational thinking.http://www.iste.org/learn/computational-thinking

Computational thinking (CT) is a
problem-solving process that includes(but is not limited to) the following characteristics:• Formulating problems in a way that enables us to use a computer and other tools to help solve them.• Logically organizing and analyzing data• Representing data through abstractions such as models and simulations• Automating solutions through algorithmic thinking (a series of ordered steps)• Identifying, analyzing, and implementing possible solutions with the goal of achieving the most efficient and effective combination of steps and resources• Generalizing and transferring this problem solving process to a wide variety of problems

Understand the connections betweencomputational thinking
and information literacy.

Horizon Report 2012 A pp!
theG 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/ http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2012-horizon-report-K12.pdf

Reading, writing, gaming, trans-media, immersive
worlds, and augmented reality, are all part of the new digital frontiers leading the re-invention of learning.cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo by Curious Expeditions: http://flickr.com/photos/curiousexpeditions/622806411/

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

Teachers owe itto their students
to “keep up”. Are you prepared? cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo by Stuck in Customs: http://flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/6756753669/

If you don’t already have
it, develop a playful collaborative mentality. Step out of your comfort zone - isn’t that what you ask of your students every day?

Drivers of changeUse technology in
every possible way forrelevant and authentic learning experiencesHarness knowledge, skills and abilities ofstudents through social software

The great challenge of a
digital education is meeting theneeds of students who have grown up in a digital era.

It makes incredible sense to
consider how ‘internetspaces’ social software and mobile devices can be used toleverage opportunities for learning. cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo by joannamkay: http://flickr.com/photos/jokay/7918666820/

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

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.

Teacher librarians can play aleading
role in schools inrelation to the social and ethicalissues of online publishing andusage, cyber bullying, plagiarismand copyright.

School libraries should be hubs
ofprofessional development,action research, and ideaexperimentation as teacherlibrarians work collaboratively withstudents and teachers.

The spaces and places of
librariesshould be physical and virtual, adopting andadapting Web 2.0 media tools to enhance andenvelop school learning communities into a seriesof globally powered learning commons—dynamic,collaborative 21st century library environments!

The spaces and places of

and teacher librarians will then actively workalongside students, sometimes leading, sometimesfollowing, and crafting an environment where studentscan always know what, where and how to be the bestlearners they can possibly be. cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo by JB London: http://flickr.com/photos/jb-london/3914363613/
