This is the introductory presentation I used for the whole day workshop that I ran as a consultant for Pearson. This workshop was run in both Sydney and Melbourne, for groups of Teacher Librarians, and focused on refreshing skills and knowledge as well as introducing and sharing new ideas.
The document provides tips for effective studying, including preparing one's environment, reading actively and for understanding, revising notes to clarify and reinforce learning, and reviewing notes before tests. Key steps are to create the right study space, read in chunks, survey material first, fill in gaps, order notes, and review from memory without materials. Effective studying is presented as an ongoing process of readying, reading, revising, and reviewing.
This document provides an overview of the key concepts in geography. It defines geography as the study of the Earth's physical environment and human habitat. There are two main branches: physical geography, which examines natural phenomena like mountains and oceans, and human geography, which studies human-environment interactions and patterns of culture. Geographers ask questions to understand locations, places, movement, and regions. The most important question is "why?". Key themes include location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions.
This document discusses various weather phenomena including temperature, precipitation, wind, sunshine, humidity and how climate is influenced by elevation, seasons and proximity to oceans and atmospheric pressure.
This certificate recognizes that Vicente García Ramírez successfully completed Business English Level 10. The certificate was issued by the Dean of Students and Senior Academic Advisor on December 31, 2015. Vicente García Ramírez demonstrated mastery of Business English at an advanced level 10.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document provides instructions for completing a worksheet that asks the user to define and provide examples of the vocabulary term "absolute location". It defines absolute location as the exact latitude and longitude coordinates used to specify the position of a place on Earth's surface. An example sentence is provided using absolute location to describe someone plotting a course on a map using the latitude and longitude coordinates of a certain place.
This document provides background information and context for a story. It discusses the main themes of the story, which are pollution and individual responsibility conflicting with personal interests. It introduces the main character, John, who loses his job and home but finds work at a paint factory, where he discovers the company is polluting the nearby river. The summary describes John's dilemma in choosing between reporting the pollution and losing his job or staying quiet to support his family.

John Duncan lost his job as a biologist and was offered a new position at a plastics factory owned by David Wilson. The factory was dumping dangerous waste products into the local river. John discovered the waste was toxic when some rats exposed to it gave birth to deformed babies. He blew the whistle on the factory's pollution and worked to prove the waste was contaminating the town's drinking water. At a public inquiry, John told the truth about the factory's activities, which led to its closure and cleanup of the polluted river.

This document provides instructions for Cornell note-taking style. Students should record as many facts and ideas as possible from the source in the main notes section without worrying about grammar or getting every word. After recording notes, students should reduce the most important information in the notes section to key words or phrases for easier reviewing later.
Formats For Common Business CorrespondencesRuby Soho
The document discusses three common formats for business correspondence letters: block format, modified block format, and simplified block format. The block format places all text flush left with the date, salutation, complimentary close, and signature block starting at the left margin. The modified block format centers these parts. The simplified block removes the salutation and complimentary close, adding a subject line between the letter address and body.
Freewriting is a technique where writers continuously write for a set period of time without editing, allowing thoughts to flow freely on any topic that comes to mind. Focused freewriting similarly lets thoughts wander but is structured around exploring a single chosen topic and making connections to develop abstract ideas before formal writing. Both help generate new ideas and perspectives to inform further drafting.

Overall, the second edition features more content, exercises, and tests to help learners of English at intermediate level improve their grammar skills.
The document discusses different ways that adverbs and adjectives can be used together to modify nouns and provide more descriptive information. It explains that adverbs can make adjectives stronger or weaker by placing them before adjectives like "very cold" or "quite tired". Multiple adjectives are ordered from opinion adjectives to size adjectives to other descriptive adjectives. Finally, nouns can also act like adjectives when placed before other nouns to provide more detail like "cardboard box".
TCEA 2011 Presentation --21st Century Librarianstechnolibrary
This document discusses how libraries can adapt to the 21st century by taking action rather than just waiting to serve. It suggests that physical and virtual library spaces, instruction, and policies could all reflect a more proactive approach. Resources are provided for becoming a modern librarian, including blogs, websites, and social media profiles of librarians innovating in the field. The document encourages librarians to share their work and move forward in updating libraries for today's world.
In September Wikimedia was invited to give a presentation to staff at the British Library. This presenation was given by Roger Bamkin and Ashley van Haeften. Oddly this doesnt mention QR codes ...
The Alexandrian Free Library is a consortium of community libraries in Second Life. It includes branches like the Caledon Library, Steelhead Public Library, and Winterfell Library. The library aims to serve virtual communities through providing exhibits, collections, events, and addressing community needs. Opportunities include combining library and museum techniques, engaging new bibliophiles, and supporting patrons as partners through third spaces and imaginative experiences.
The document discusses how libraries can transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 by embracing social media and new technologies. It provides examples of how libraries are engaging in conversations with users, encouraging participation, embedding into communities, enabling collaboration, exploring new communities, empowering customers, enriching experiences, expanding access, exposing new ideas and letting go of control. The goal is for libraries to move from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 approaches by engaging users through these various strategies in both physical and digital spaces.

Working with Wikipedia: Leveraging the Online Encyclopedia to Serve Your Patr...Don Boozer
For almost fourteen years, Wikipedia has stirred strong emotions among librarians and educators - both pro and con. Regardless of any controversy students, patrons, and - yes - librarians are using Wikipedia, and it remains steadfastly in the top ten most-visited sites on the Internet. If patrons are going to be using Wikipedia, it is in librarians' interest to understand both its strengths and weaknesses and be able to communicate these to local patrons, students, and educators. This presentation will address these concerns and also look at how librarians can use the online encyclopedia to share their expertise and highlight their local resources. Presented at the Ohio Library Council
The document discusses the concept of Web 2.0 and how libraries can embrace new technologies and social media to better engage with their communities. It emphasizes encouraging conversation, collaboration, creativity and empowering customers. It encourages libraries to let go of control and empower patrons to learn. It also stresses the importance of librarians continuously learning about new tools and becoming "knowledge players" who spend 15 minutes per day exploring blogs and playing with new technologies.

Digital + Community: what works and how do I build a strategy around this?
Working with community and digital experiences requires a lot of thinking through. You need to consider what the actual experience it is that you are trying to deliver and how your community can participate with you and your content. Using the latest technology is not enough, there needs to be a strategy behind why you are doing the initiative in the first place. This talk will discuss many digital experiences the Powerhouse Museum has conceived of and delivered utilising a strategy and different technologies and plaftorms behind each experience. Successes and some failures will be shared.
This document discusses approaches for libraries to collect and support community-contributed digital content. It provides examples of projects where communities have created or enhanced digital archives through sites like Flickr and Galaxy Zoo. The document also discusses challenges around copyright and permissions when using community-contributed content and shares the experience of the Butte-Silver Bow Public Library with their Butte Digital Image Project on Flickr.
Digital Divide and Conquer: Why Open Access and Information Fluency Make a Gr...Robyn Hall
Presented at the Canadian Library Association 2011 Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia in May 2011. (A similar presentation was delivered at the NEOS Miniconference in June 2011 with the title "The Open Access Student: Not an Open-and-Shut Case").
Abstract: Librarians strive to encourage students’ lifelong learning and critical thinking skills. Enhancing their awareness of Open Access resources in an increasingly complex digital information landscape furthers this objective. This session will explore ways librarians are promoting OA publications, focusing specifically on how these resources can enrich students’ lives now and for years to come.

Library Technology Trends...Introduction Part 1dornbergerj
The document discusses emerging technology trends in libraries, focusing on the concepts of Library 2.0 and social networking. It introduces social networking tools like wikis, blogs, RSS, social bookmarking, tagging, and Second Life that allow libraries to connect with patrons where they are online. By adopting these new technologies, libraries can make their services more participatory, flexible, easy to find and use to keep up with student expectations and how information is shared today.
Web 2 An introduction for Library staffSteveJBaker
The document discusses how Nottinghamshire Libraries, Archives and Information (LAI) is using Web 2.0 technologies like social networking, blogs, and wikis to engage customers. It provides definitions of Web 2.0, blogs, and wikis. It also gives examples of how LAI is using Facebook, Twitter, and an internal wiki to share information between staff and connect with customers. Staff were introduced to setting up blogs and participated in an activity to design a blog about Nottinghamshire Libraries.
You may have heard that Twitter, Facebook, and other sites like LinkedIn, Tumblr or Pinterest are great tools for getting the library’s message out to your patrons and stakeholders. This is true, but these tools are even more useful and powerful when you think of them as ways to build relationships with members of your community. Learn what each of these tools has to offer and how you can use them to build relationships through social media outreach.
Presentation includes examples of promoting SirsiDynix tools and resources.
The document discusses how libraries can better connect their resources to the web of data through linked data and BIBFRAME in order to improve discovery of library materials. It notes that traditional library metadata and cataloging is no longer sufficient and that libraries need to start linking their resources instead of just copying records. By making resources discoverable through linked data, libraries have an opportunity to reassert their role as a source for all materials, both physical and digital.
Open pedagogy can be thought of as having two key aspects: 1) an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education, and 2) a process of designing architectures and tools that enable students to shape public knowledge. It values reducing barriers to learning through choices like open educational resources and accessible technology. It also prioritizes learner agency, production-centered learning, and student-curated resources. Effective open pedagogy involves providing online spaces for collaboration, inviting connections within and beyond the course, and using tools that consider student access and data/privacy issues. It recognizes students as fellow learners rather than consumers, valuing the humanity of education.
Do Twitter chats fill you with confusion and fear? Let this document guide you through the process of engaging in a fun and rewarding professional learning activity!
Twitter can be used to create connections for learning. The document discusses why Twitter and explains how the Twitter interface works, including how to write tweets, mention or tag other users, and use hashtags. It also provides an anatomy of a tweet, showing the typical components of a tweet like the account name, date, any links, mentions, hashtags, and metrics on shares and likes. The goal is to demonstrate how Twitter can function as a place for learning through connections with others on the platform.
Why Twitter? Why Now? Using Twitter to create connections for learningKay Oddone
A brief tutorial used to highlight the positive and negative ways that Twitter can be used, and how to leverage it for professional learning effectively. Aimed at newbies to Twitter.
This document discusses a study on how teachers experience professional learning through personal learning networks (PLNs). The research question asks how teachers experience professional learning through PLNs. The study uses a qualitative methodology to collect data from 10 teacher participants about their experiences with PLNs. Key findings indicate that learning through PLNs can transform professional learning by helping teachers enhance their content knowledge, understand themselves as professionals, and gain professional recognition - representing three tiers of "learning as a professional." Overall, the study provides insight into how PLNs support teachers as connected professionals who engage in ongoing learning and growth.
The document discusses designing a connected future for school libraries. It proposes taking a networked learning approach framed around principles of equity, participation and social connection. This involves cultivating connections between people, information and ideas. The library should act as a hub where passion-driven learning occurs through participation, interconnection, challenge and creation. A connected future is outlined as one that values, promotes and creates an environment of connectivity by connecting students, teachers and information.
Kay Oddone is a PhD candidate at the Queensland University of Technology who researches the pedagogical potential of personal learning networks (PLNs). A PLN is an individual's online network of connections to people, information, and resources that is strategically developed to provide access to informal learning. Developing students' PLNs can embed principles of excellent teaching by creating learning experiences that are active, participatory, open, self-directed, and exploratory. Some ways students can engage with their PLNs include consuming information critically from various sources, creating a digital portfolio through blogging, and initiating and maintaining social media connections to build their capacity as connected professionals.
The document outlines a presentation titled "Make, Play, Learn" about investigating how play can stimulate creativity, engagement, discovery and learning. The goals are to explore new tools and technologies through hands-on exploration and to have fun while learning. It discusses how skills and experiences for future jobs are changing from consumption to creation and from classrooms to design houses. Resources for makerspaces are provided.
Kay Oddone successfully completed the course Open Networked Learning (ONL161) held from February 15 to April 24, 2016, which covered topics such as connecting and networking, digital literacy, collaborative learning, flexible and mobile learning, and open educational practices. The course comprised approximately 8 hours of work per week over 10 weeks, including collaborative problem-based learning and individual blog reflections. The certificate was issued on May 30, 2016 and signed by the five course organizers.
Augmented reality digitally enhances reality by overlaying additional digital information on the real world. It allows for a complete immersion in a digital world while still being grounded in reality. AR has significant potential for learning and assessment by enabling interactive and visual forms of learning. Examples of educational uses include using virtual objects to explore concepts, bringing large objects into the classroom for hands-on study, and making phonics fun with AR prompts. Teachers can create their own AR experiences using tools like Aurasma.
This document discusses the rise of ebooks and ereaders. It provides a brief history of ebooks, noting that ebook sales now account for 25% of all book sales in the US and are projected to reach 50% by 2014. It examines the advantages and disadvantages of ebooks compared to printed books. Finally, it considers options for accessing ebooks and their use in educational settings.
Digital content curation is a strategy for managing information overload by finding, selecting, and organizing online content. It involves finding valuable information, evaluating it critically, adding context through annotations and commentary, and sharing it with others. The goal is to create a cohesive collection of resources rather than just accumulating information randomly. Curation requires search skills, critical thinking, and sharing curated materials through social media or library systems to build knowledge networks.
Lismore Diocese Teacher Librarians: Hack Your LibraryKay Oddone
This was the opening presentation for a day long workshop presented to the Teacher Librarian Network Group from the Lismore Catholic Education Diocese.
This document discusses the importance of digital literacy and critical evaluation of online information. It recommends the REAL strategy for students to evaluate websites: Read the URL, Examine the site's content and history, Ask about the author/publisher, and Look at the links. Following this strategy helps students analyze a site's reliability and assess the credibility of information on the internet. The document stresses that students need skills to critically analyze digital information online and verify the trustworthiness of sources.
Makerspaces - the hot trend right now in schools, libraries and education - but what is it about makerspaces that encourages learning, and are they really worth the time and effort for students, or just a fad that will gather dust when the next big thing comes along?

Editor's Notes
Spending the day together; so that I can get to know where you are coming from and your contexts;
Your name
Your school and whether it is primary, secondary or k-12
Three words to describe a contemporary library
Library of Alexandria:
As a symbol of the wealth and power of Egypt,
it employed many scribes to borrow books from around the known world, copy them, and return them.
Most of the books were kept as papyrus scrolls, and though it is unknown how many such scrolls were housed at any given time, their combined value was incalculable.
The library is famous for having been burned resulting in the loss of many scrolls and books, and has become a symbol of the destruction of cultural knowledge.
Facilitation – providing the tools, and teaching the tools to help students navigate
Participation – being a part of – David Shumaker The Embedded Librarian: says ask anyone what a librarian does and they say ‘work in a library’ – if you don’t need to go to the library anymore to access information we need to change or become obsolete
Embeddedness – become part of the fabric of the school – be where the users are, provide our resources 24/7 so that they can access us even when we are not physically available
Proactive rather than reactive – initiating rather than waiting for someone to come to us
Librarians aren't valuable because we know how to checkout books: it is this understanding that is seeing TLs being replaced by technicians: it is our skill in helping find the right book that will set the reader on a path
It isn’t because we have the password to subscription databases: it is because we help students form the queries, evaluate the information they find, teach the strategies to use one tool as a jumping off point into a range of other tools
It isn’t because we organise the books and know Dewey; it is because we help students and teachers to access the information via our catalogues, which extend beyond what is on the shelf, and create an environment where they are encouraged to use this information and data to create new knowledge and ideas
We already have formulated lots of information to respond to this question; but the best response I have seen: Dr Steve Matthews, 21st Century Library blog:
If you mean this; no, we don’t need it.
But the library offers:
List all the things on stickynotes that your library provides other than books
Things are changing fast; Charles Sturt university - Information is the new global currency. It allows citizens to make informed decisions, provides business with its competitive advantage, and creates the opportunity to develop new knowledge and insights. The demand for highly-skilled knowledge workers to process, manipulate and analyse the ever-growing mountain of information has never been greater.
We are the people in schools who have skills in this area. And it’s changing all the time;
204 million emails are sent every minute, while 47,000 apps are downloaded and retail giant Amazon rings up around £55,000 ($83,000) in sales.
Around 20 million photos and 6 million Facebook pages are viewed, while we also watch 1.3 million video clips on YouTube.
It predicted that by 2015, the number of networked devices is expected to be double the world’s population.
It would take five years to view all the video content crossing IP networks each second by then.
The role of the TL has changed; from accessing the information stored in the library, to teaching how to manage and creating channels to more effectively access it.
And these are just some of the new tools available to help us do this
Social bookmarks – Diigo, evernote, delicious, instapaper
social networks – google plus, facebook
Crowd wisdom – storify, reddit, buzzfeed, digg
blogs and microblogs: wordpress, twitter, blogger
content documents: prezi, slideshare, docstoc, scribd
video: youtube, vimeo, ted
Curation: paperli, storify, pinterest, flipboard, scoopit,
Wikis: wikipedia, wikispaces, curriki
Read broadly to defend your role
350 years of Atlantic leadership of the global economy, we will see the Pacific rise. At the very least, the Pacific will share that leadership.
What kind of leadership will the 21st century require?
What are the implications of this for for education systems ?
The world is changing rapidly. Technology is transforming our lives. The skills needed in the
future will be very different from those needed today. Education offers each individual and nation the best chance of navigating an unknown future – coping with uncertainty, adapting to evolving conditions and learning how to learn.
Know how
Know what
Know when
Know where
Metacognition,
thinking about how to use knowledge most effectively in the current context
Applying the right type of thinking at the right time: sometimes a quick immediate response, other times researched, considered, sometimes thinking from the heart, sometimes thinking logically and analytically
Not just to be the leader as in Napoleon:
But to communicate, collaborate, defend a point of view, take different perspectives, make decisions
Appreciate a multidisciplinary approach, work with people from different backgrounds, cultures, persuasions, beliefs
respecting opinions different from one’s own;
respecting individuals equally regardless of their wealth, race, gender, sexual orientation or origin;
recognising the diversity of life – not just human life – on Earth and understanding the threats to environmental sustainability;
Intellectual ethics, digital ethics,
‘...we are convinced the world increasingly will be divided between high-imagination-developing countries, which encourage and enable the imagination and extras of their people, and low-imagination-enabling countries, which suppress or simply fail to develop their people’s creative capacities and abilities to spark new ideas, start up new industries and nurture their own “extra”…’
p. 138 Friedman, T. L., & Mandelbaum, M. (2011). That used to be us: how America fell behind in the world it invented and how we can come back.
On 10 March 2010 the then Minister for Education, Hon Julia Gillard, asked the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Education and Training to inquire into and report on school libraries and teacher librarians in Australian schools.
13 hearings in major Australian capital cities in 2010 and 2011, a bi-partisan House Committee of Inquiry published its Report School libraries and teacher librarians in 21st century Australia (March 2011).
Change of government; few if any of the 11 commendations were followed up on; but raised the profile of TLs
Recognition of the significance of both school libraries and teacher-librarians in light of:
Building the Education Revolution (BER),
Digital Education Revolution (DER)
Australian Curriculum.
Findings of inquiry: many school libraries are currently under-funded and specialist teacher-librarian positions are declining.
Student achievement is improved by:
Increasing the number of full-time equivalent library staff in a school
Employing qualified teacher-librarians
Increasing library budgets
Having library collections that are large, frequently updated, and cover material in varied formats
Having networked online resources in the library as well as in classrooms, labs, and offices
Increasing students’ use of the library, as indicated by library visits and circulation.
There is extensive research available linking school libraries and teacher librarians with student achievement: Link to Diigo list
