Lucy Gray gave a presentation on leveraging Google search tools and teaching search skills. She discussed Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it accessible. Gray explained that search is an essential 21st century skill and that educators have a responsibility to teach students how to effectively search, organize, access, and leverage information. She highlighted how those with strong search abilities have an advantage and can better validate information from various sources. Gray then demonstrated different Google search tools like News, Scholar, Books and features within those tools. She emphasized best practices for organizing effective searches through keyword choice and other tips. Gray concluded by encouraging educators to make research a central part of teaching and to help students develop strong search strategies across subjects.

Evolving libraries: What's at our core?rudibrarian
Are libraries “book warehouses” or “knowledge makerspaces”? The nature of “things” patrons create with library tools has changed in recent years as educators and libraries incorporate new technologies and new media in the learning experience and as methods of communication become increasingly (digitally) visual. However, this increasing complexity of tools has not changed the library’s central role of providing the space for information consumption, the training in support of various literacies, and support of knowledge creation in whatever form the researcher requires. The only thing that has really changed is the nature of the tools libraries support. Are we providing a broader array of tools needed to support multiple-media learning and literacy that enhances our relevancy to constituents—and to funding agencies? Join the discussion!

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.

86. Organizing a Search
• What is it I’m looking for?
(think about common keywords)
• How would someone else talk about it?
(what words would they use? how would THEY describe it?)
• Which of those terms would be most common?
• Which of those terms would be very specialized to this topic?
• What kind of thing would make me happy?
(do I want a single web page, a definition, a collection, an
image.... or … ?)
Sunday, April 10, 2011
87. Keyword Choice
• Think about what you are trying to find
• Choose words that you think will appear on the
page
• Put yourself in the mindset of the author of those
words
• Use synonyms
• Start broad and use just a few words, then go deep
• Use contextual terms
Sunday, April 10, 2011
88. Other Search Tips
• Use specifiers
• Example: [Oregon population wikipedia]
• Try an image search when normal means fail, you might find
something that will be useful or spark your interest in a
different way.
• Word order matters—when it’s not working one way, try
another.
• When searching for common phrases, don’t leave out the
“stop words.” (e.g., [ Lord of the Rings] )
• Use double quotes to find a particular sequence of words
• Example:“Daniel M Russell” or “Ursula K Le Guin”
