The future school library will continue to serve its fundamental purpose of providing resources and information to students, staff, and parents. While reference books and printed materials will decrease, access to online information through computer stations will be the dominant source of information. Both traditional printed books and ebooks will continue to be available resources for pleasure reading. As the primary source of information shifts online, teaching digital literacy and citizenship skills will become increasingly important roles for teacher-librarians to help students effectively navigate the digital world. The future library will also foster more interaction through online collaboration, social media, blogging, and virtual classrooms to engage students in dynamic, participatory learning.

UW Virtual Hub Library: Plans for 3D Information LiteracyValerie Hill
These slides show brainstorming concepts for the University of Washington virtual 3D library. Embedding information literacy in new immersive, interactive formats as the landscape of libraries changes is illustrated by a project undertaken by graduates of the University of Washington's Certificate in Virtual Worlds.
Conventional accounts of authentic learning focus on contextual factors: tasks, processes, how situated the learning is and the extent to which learners engage in simulated or participative real-world activities. This paper theorises how ubiquitous mobile technologies are fracturing the boundaries that demarcate traditional accounts of authentic learning affording new opportunities to reconceptualise what authenticity means for learners when they use a boundary object such as a mobile device. Whilst some of this has been captured previously with terms like ‘seamless’, ‘contextualised’ and ‘agile’ learning this paper argues that the concept of authentic mobile learning is a highly fluid construct which will continue to change as the technologies develop and as the pedagogical affordances become better understood by educators and end-users. The paper offers a three-dimensional model of authentic mobile learning and argues that further empirical research is required to understand what is authentic mobile learning from the perception of learners.

What Is the Impact of Digitizing Books, 2013Marc Prensky.docxAASTHA76
What Is the Impact of Digitizing Books?, 2013
Marc Prensky is a software designer and author of Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning and
From Digital Natives to Digital Wisdom.
Colleges and universities should ban nonelectronic books to improve the way faculty teach and students
learn. A print textbook ban will not discourage reading, nor diminish the value of the ideas within books.
In fact, e-books liberate ideas. Faculty can augment texts with additional multimedia materials that
enhance the content. Moreover, faculty can expand e-text discussion to students outside the classroom,
enriching the educational experience. Digital texts are also accessible anywhere, at any time, while
printed books, once read, are often closed and shelved. Electronic textbooks free ideas from the printed
page and will move education into the twenty-first century.
Recent news that South Korea plans to digitize its entire elementary- and secondary-school curriculum by 2015,
combined with the declining cost of e-readers and Amazon's announcement earlier this year [2011] that it is
selling more e-books than print books, prompts an interesting question: Which traditional campus will be the first
to go entirely bookless? Not, of course, bookless in the sense of using no book content, but bookless in the
sense of allowing no physical books. My guess is that this will make some institution famous.
Already, just about everything that an undergraduate needs to read is available in electronic form. Whatever isn't
there electronically, librarians, students, or professors can easily scan, as many already do.
Some colleges are already heading in this direction by requiring or handing out iPod Touches, iPads, Kindles, or
Nooks, often preloaded with textbooks and other curricular materials, or by disallowing paper texts for online
courses. But I suggest that it's time to go much further: to actually ban nonelectronic books on campus. That
would be a symbolic step toward a much better way of teaching and learning, in which all materials are fully
integrated. It could involve a pledge similar to the one that language students and instructors at Middlebury
Language Schools take to speak only the foreign languages in which they are immersed during the study
program.
I'm not advocating that we get rid of the good and valuable ideas, thoughts, or words in books—only that
we transfer them to (and have students absorb them through) another form.
In this bookless college, all reading—which would still, of course, be both required and encouraged—would be
done electronically. Any physical books in students' possession at the beginning of the year would be exchanged
for electronic versions, and if a student was later found with a physical book, it would be confiscated (in return for
an electronic version). The physical books would be sent to places and institutions that wanted or needed them.
Professors would have a limited time in which to convert their personal .
Sociomedia: The Transformative Power of TechnologyRichard Smyth
a model for using educational technology in light of new emerging literacies. this goes along with the podcast available here: http://www.anabiosispress.org/temp/sociomedia.mp3
Keynote at the 2013 FITSI Conference (University of New Hampshire).
Summary: We live in opportune times. We live at a time when education features prominently in the national press and discussions focusing on improving the ways we design education are a daily occurrence. Stanford President John Hennessy notes that “a tsunami” is coming – and Pearson executives are calling the impending change an “avalanche.” We are told that “education is broken” and that technology provides appropriate solutions for the perils facing education. But, what do these solutions look like? Will these be the times that capture Dewey’s and Freire’s visions of education? Will these be times of empowered students, democratic educational systems, learning webs, and affordable access to education? Or, will these be the times where efficiency, venture capital, and market values dictate what education will look like? Is technology transforming education? If so, how? During this keynote presentation, I will highlight how learning and education are (and are not) changing with the emergence of certain technologies, social behaviors, and cultural expectations. Using empirical research and evidence I will discuss myths and truths pertaining to online education and present ways that faculty members and educators can make meaningful contributions to the future educational systems that we are creating today.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

C:\Fakepath\What Will My School Library Look Like In
1. What will my school library look like in the future? What is the fundamental purpose of a school library? Wikipedia’s definition: "A school library is a library within a school where students, staff, and often, parents ... have access to a variety of resources.“ The UNESCO School Library Manifesto is also valid: “The school library provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today’s information and knowledge-based society.” Will the school library of tomorrow fit these descriptions? Yes, I believe it will, but I also believe that it will be a place of interaction, where learning is “cool”.
2.
3. Resources Information: School libraries have always been filled with resources, available to all within the school community. For those seeking information, the new library will have very few reference books, maps and atlases but will have a multitude of computer stations as the dominant source of information will be the world wide web. The number of information sites will continue to grow and both teachers and students will use the internet to gather facts, figures and other reference data. Encyclopedias and atlases will become inadequate as the internet will provide up-to-date data about our ever - changing world.
4. Resources for pleasure Books (fiction), once considered the “heart” of the library, are also important resources as they help us relax and escape into wonderfully written stories that capture our imaginations. The book will continue to be an important part of the library, but will be offered in more than one form: bound copies of paper (which many find comforting and tactile) or ebooks (electronic books offered on a hand held digital device). I believe that there will be room on the library shelves for both.
5. Knowledge Management (Knowledge management , in this case, will be defined as how students manage the information (knowledge) offered in the digital world.) Given that the internet will be the primary source of information, the supervision of this tool will become part of the teacher – librarian’s job description. We will need to promote computer literacy as well as digital citizenship.
6. Knowledge Management(computer literacy) In The School Library Journal (June 2007), Joyce Valenza makes a number of valid points and I find they fit into this component of the future library … Teachers will be “… concerned that when it matters, your students move beyond information satisficing. They make solid information decisions.” Teachers will be “… concerned about a new digital divide. Those who can find quality information in all media formats effectively, and those who cannot.” Valenza points out the need to teach students how to be selective when looking for information, to question what they read. Critical thinking skills will be necessary in order to create a productive learning atmosphere. This is a case of quality versus quantity and is a “must” in a knowledge based world.
7. Knowledge Management(digital citizenship) The International Society for Technology in Education lists digital citizenship in its mandate: “Students (will) understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior.” As educators, our role in creating responsible digital citizens will be crucial. The internet can be a very diverse world filled with many temptations, both good and bad. “ Schools have the opportunity to play a key role in the development of new citizenship for physical and virtual communities. Schools should engage in a discussion about identity, privacy, ownership, credibility, and reputation that engages teachers, administrators, parents, and students as a first step down this road.” (The 2009 Horizon Report K12 Edition) The Digital Citizenship website offers guidelines on the appropriate use of technology and the teacher – librarian will use sites like this to educate her students (as well as parents). There will be new skills to teach!
8. Interaction If used effectively, the internet will offer a very productive interactive learning environment; a world where sharing and collaboration are at your fingertips. On-line learning, blogging, Twitter and various social networking sites will continue to thrive and add a dynamic dimension to the school library. Bringing students with common interests together to collaborate and share ideas will be very common in the future and add a new dimension to the practice of teacher-librarianship. Interaction is a way of “engaging” students and, I believe, when they are “engaged”, they will learn.
9. InteractionImagine this… Virtual classrooms where interaction creates very positive outcomes … “ The worth of a learning management system ultimately is measured by the same yardstick as every other educational tool: student performance…the overall feeling of being engaged is better." (Shein, 2007)
10. Imagine some more … Students creating blogs … perhaps about a book, sharing thought s and ideas for a book talk or novel study. Students adding valid information to a wiki page. Contributing, collaborating, sharing … interacting!
11. Cool Learning James Trier’s article “Cool” engagements with YouTube: Part 1 refers to “cool” engagements as those that are “high in participation.” I like the idea behind this and believe that the school librarians of tomorrow will be able to create a “cool” atmosphere within the library walls.
12. Cool Learning In order for learning to be “cool” , educators must use teaching tools that students can identify with, tools that have meaning. Since the youth of the future will be born into a world filled with various forms of technology, they will definitely be considered digital natives, “…native speakers of the digital language of computers, video games and the Internet .” (Prensky, 2001)
13. Cool learning The teacher-librarian of the 21st century will speak the same (digital) language as her students. She will be comfortable in the digital world and use the tools that they use in a way that will promote learning. She will show that education can be a dynamic process where the teacher and student can connect.
14. Conclusion The future of teacher – librarianship is friendly! Although the job description of a school librarian will change, it will evolve to embrace a knowledge based world where information is “king”. The library will once again be the “heart” of the school as it resumes its role as the epicentre of information gathering within the school community.
