Between a dropbox and a hard place - ASLA 2013Hamish Curry
The digital and the physical have obviously created new challenges and opportunities for libraries and learning. The tools at our fingertips are diverse, networked, versatile, and present new ways to conceptualize content. These tools are not only changing our work, but it is still only emerging how we use physical spaces in this context; and the innovations just keep coming! This closing keynote will bring together some of the ideas from the Conference, as well as experiences from programs at the State Library of Victoria and other institutions to explore what it means to integrate technology and pedagogy effectively. This will lead into the considerations for school leadership, how it connects vision with practice, what it means to educate young people in the world of cloud computing, and the implications for the continued growth and expertise of the teaching profession.
Pre-service teachers often lack opportunity or encouragement to build professional partnerships with teacher librarians during their teacher training. While pre-service teachers may visit the school library during their placement, this may not provide an adequate opportunity for teacher librarians to effectively highlight the services and resources that are available. Teacher librarians and principals have collaborated with Southern Cross University Library to produce a series of video clips showcasing the value of school libraries, and what teacher librarians can offer their colleagues.
This document discusses developing digital literacy in schools. It provides an overview of a digital literacy matrix and covers information literacy, critical literacy, and ICT literacy.

ASLA XXIII Biennial Conference - Cathy Oxley, Debbie Hunter & Vicki Palmer - The teacher librarians at Brisbane Grammar School have been involved in an exciting journey as part of a Blended Learning Team. Given the task of redesigning existing Year 8 units in a mix of traditional face-to-face and digital environments, we have been exploring teaching methodologies such as design frameworks and flipping the classroom as well as Web 2.0 tools to develop support materials for student access at point of need. In this hands-on workshop we will share technologies we have found useful for both teachers and students, as well as the process we have undertaken with our teaching colleagues.
Teacher Librarian and PhD student Anne Whisken conducted an action research project with 25 secondary teachers. They investigated the informed learning model (Bruce 2008) for teaching 21st century information use in a blended learning environment. How could teachers incorporate this into their practice? Is action research useful professional development?
Collaborative teaching and learning practices between schools is at a beginning stage. Often these practices involve the use of technology which is new to many teachers. This session introduces a change management process which addresses the level of concern each participant may be encountering and points to understanding how a managed approach can lead to successful communication and collaboration.
Guided Inquiry is one of the keys to establishing the elusive collaboration that teacher librarians have been seeking for many years now. This presentation will essentially be an analysis of the learnings of a team of teachers and teacher librarians about Guided Inquiry as two inquiry units are planned, carried out and evaluated during 2011, with the aim of identifying what works and what doesn’t, and the organising principles behind Guided Inquiry, from the practitioners’ perspectives.
ASLA XXIII Biennial Conference - Dr Jill Abell - Print books are bouncing back with the new bookshop experiences whilst school libraries are using a host of diverse e-commerce models, e-platforms and devices in their efforts to offer digital texts to support new curriculum. The common goal is to adopt e-books to encourage reading, or create e-texts as a replacement for costly and heavy printed texts, to secure backlisted fiction, and to maintain curriculum-focussed non-fiction and multiple copies with manageable digital rights and licensing for class use. In this workshop, participants will examine the “wicked problems” and change focus to find solutions.

This project explored the notion of shared writing, challenging students to produce a joint story.
ASLA XXIII Biennial Conference - Eric Frangenheim - Good inquiry learning involves much more than a quick Google search and a summary from a few sources. Rather, it is a process that ensures the student fully understands the task at hand and that the task is supported by the use of carefully chosen thinking tools. This workshop will outline a Thinking Skills Framework that is essential for all inquiry-based learning and the role of a digital resource 'ThinkDrive' to assist students with more in-depth and successful responses.

This dissertation examines how museums have used techniques from comic books in exhibition design. It analyzes three exhibitions: Charles Darwin: Evolution of a Scientist at the Manchester Museum, Manga: Professor Munakata's British Museum Adventure at the British Museum, and Captured at Imperial War Museum North. The dissertation explores how museums employ sequential visual storytelling, synecdoche, and liminal space like comics to engage visitors. It also discusses how comics and museums have challenged notions of "high" and "low" culture by borrowing techniques from each other. The goal is to understand how museums translate comics' stylistic devices for educational purposes in a museum context.

The passage provides information about sea anemones:
- Sea anemones resemble flowers more than animals, with a cylindrical body and colorful tentacles. Their size ranges from a few millimeters to over 90 centimeters.
- They are coelenterates that can move slowly but often attach to surfaces. Their tentacles contain stinging cells that paralyze prey, which is then dragged into their mouth and digested.
- When disturbed, sea anemones retract their tentacles and shorten their body. They can reproduce through eggs, dividing in half, or developing buds that break off.

Sample advocacy letters are presented, as well as topic pages on the importance of school libraries, teacher librarians, reading, equity, and the impact of reducing teacher librarian positions. Ideas are given for using images and research in advocacy efforts and personalizing the message. The document also discusses using newsletters and reports to promote the library and announces an upcoming national advocacy campaign.
Participants explored
• An overview of how social media can support school library services.
• An outline of the benefits of social media for the school library community
• Strategies for setting up and using social media for school library services.
• Tips for developing social media guidelines including learning from mistakes.
Biography: Dr Catherine Sly has taught in NSW Department of Education high schools and has been a writer, editor and consultant for the School Libraries division of the NSW Department of Education. Her recent PhD thesis investigated graphic novels from a narratological perspective.
Abstract: Quality graphic novels can be as challenging and complex as written texts. While the predominantly visual format of graphic novels may readily capture students’ attention, guidance from teacher librarians and teachers can be invaluable in cultivating and refining the skills necessary to probe the depth and richness of these publications.
Attendees will learn how to guide students to discover this richness as well as how to identify specific techniques used by the creators of graphic novels. A close investigation of two selected graphic novels will operate as examples to provide the necessary signposts for teachers to become more confident in the reading, processing, critical analysis and evaluation of graphic novels.

This document provides an overview and summary of recent copyright reforms in Australia that affect school libraries:
1. The Copyright Amendment (Disability Access and Other Measures) Act 2017 updates copyright exceptions and terms to improve access for those with disabilities, simplify exceptions for education and preservation activities, and limits the term of copyright protection.
2. New exceptions allow easier conversion of works into accessible formats for those with disabilities and broader sharing of such works. Education exceptions are also simplified.
3. Preservation exceptions are broadened and liberalized to bring them in line with global best practices. Copyright protection is also limited to the life of the author plus 70 years or 70 years from creation for anonymous works.
There have been some exciting changes happening at SCIS. Ben Chadwick, Manager of SCIS presented the webinar and showed off some of the new features with an orientation around the site and included some practical and in-depth examples for SCIS users to try.
The document summarizes presentations from the ASLA XXV conference. Key topics included using graphic novels to teach multimodal literacy, exploring games as texts to understand narrative, setting, character and authorship, and the vital role teacher librarians play in connecting students with reading and promoting literacy. Presenters discussed using apps and hypertexts, moving beyond genres like dystopia, and designing libraries to encourage reading engagement. The role of new formats, real-world themes in fiction, and interactive technologies like virtual reality games were also addressed.
Meet the new and continuing members of the Board of the Australian School Library Association, and learn what we do to support school library staff around Australia.
Presented by Sharon McGuinness (Mrs Mac’s Library) and Rowena Beresford (The Book Curator). In this webinar, Sharon shared some practical ideas for linking the theme with a range of book-related and learning activities. Rowena Beresford shared her ideas and the resources available through a Book Curator subscription.
This document provides ideas and resources for teachers to use during Book Week and beyond with a focus on the theme "Escape to Everywhere". It discusses the theme and what it means to escape through reading books. It provides several classroom activity ideas that involve critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication skills. These include book-based escape room activities, book character discussions, book reviews and book-inspired art. It also lists various online and physical resources for teachers, students and librarians to engage with for Book Week celebrations and reading promotion.
The development of Critical thinking is central to the General Capabilities of the new Australian Curriculum and essential to prepare our students for an ever-changing and challenging future. In this ASLA webinar, Margo Pickworth demonstrated and explained some of the recent Harvard Visible Thinking Routines that can be applied to a wide range of texts. Using these routines in a library setting can contribute to the development of creative, critical and moral thinkers.
The webinar reviewed the major findings of the Australian Kids and Family Reading report and explored some of the implications for Primary and Secondary schools. The report was based on a national survey of children and parents and explored their reading attitudes and behaviour around reading books for fun.
The webinar introduced participants to the members of the current ASLA Board and their roles. Information was also shared about the work of the Board and future plans for ASLA.
Marty Marshman and Kate Reid collaborated to show how they use LibGuides to serve the specific needs of their very different school communities. LibGuides is a highly adaptable web publishing platform for organising and sharing library resources and online content with library patrons. Marty discussed his use of LibGuides with reference to how he collaborates with teachers in developing LibGuides, the Standards addressed when using LibGuides and showed examples of LibGuides designed for secondary teachers and students. Kate showed examples of guides designed for primary and secondary students and teachers, demonstrated how easy it is to create and edit pages, and also looked at the online community of LibGuide users.
This webinar presented by Pru Mitchell for school library staff considered critical thinking projects that show students how Wikipedia works, and helps move them from being consumers to creators. Participants evaluated content and citations to consider how Wikipedia can be a reliable source of neutral, verifiable, established background information on current curriculum topics.
The webinar gave participants an exploration into how to use and incorporate coding activities in everyday learning as well as identifying web 2.0 tools and apps to support engaging students in coding activities across the school. The session also provided practical examples of how to implement coding activities and highlighted the value of coding in relation to curriculum needs.
This document provides examples of lesson activities for younger students that a teacher librarian uses in the library. It begins with an overview of the theoretical influences on activity design, such as developmental stage, attention span, timetable, and available technology. Examples are then provided for different year levels, from Prep/Foundation to Year 3, covering a range of skills and content areas. These include sequencing activities, predicting stories, comparing books, creating ebooks, and hands-on activities using books, technology and other materials. The document concludes with some general techniques used in lesson activities.
