Web 2.0 provides ways to filter, streamline, organise, share, distribute or gather information from the burgeoning information jungle. With the power of 2.0 the information revolution can be tamed. Teachers can learn new ways to incorporate search strategies into their personal information-seeking toolkits and then work with students to weave deeper understandings of how to find information right into the fabric of their learning. In a learning environment where writing, reflecting, creating and collaborating are driving authentic engagement with content, searching and researching has to encompass multi-literacies and information fluency in the process. It’s time to challenge the old standards of ‘search’. With all our experience as teachers, we are novices in the information revolution. It’s not a one-size-fits-all environment, and the myriad of choices, tools and techniques we could customise for our professional purposes need explanation and elaboration to understand how to be a confident, efficient and effective news and knowledge curators. This session will show how connecting, collaborating and networking are dependent on knowledge filters and information search techniques that allow teachers to become extraordinary information architects in charge of their own knowledge work, ready to mentor and support the learning of their students.

information are paramount.
Horizon Report 2011 K-12 Edition
Cloud computing is saving schools money and resources. It has opened
doors for more exibility, more space, more collaboration, and ultimately, more creative
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.

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.

67. “The students surveyed often looked in
journals or databases unsuited to their field of
study and displayed a poor understanding of
how to refine search results”.
While the interface of Google and other similar search engines might
be more intuitive, what’s going on behind the scenes isn’t intuitive at all,
and very few students had a clear conception of how search engines
work. This lack of understanding compounds the problem of building an
effective search strategy.”
68. 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.
71. 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.
