Keynote title: 'Challenges. Your mission if you choose to accept it is...'
Abstract: Challenges are the stuff life is made of. Challenges can be treated as obstacles or opportunities. Lyn explores some challenges currently facing school libraries, the teacher librarian profession and education, in general. How one chooses to overcome challenges determines one’s success or failure. Our mission is success – individually and collectively. So what’s the plan? Your mission if you choose to accept it is...

The What, Who, Why and How of Building an iCentre: Part 1Syba Academy
Part 1 of the schoollibrarymanagement.com webinar series on "The what, who, why and how of building an iCentre". Presented Wednesday, June 29, 2011 8:00 - 9:00 PM AEST.
This webinar takes participants through the design and planning phases of building an iCentre in schools. It outlines the range of programs and services provided by an iCentre (the WHAT); presents a range of configurations for an iCentre team including staffing formulas and role statements (the WHO); provides a rationale for establishing an iCentre (the WHY); and presents a blueprint for developing an iCentre (the HOW).
This webinar series assists participants in putting the iCentre concept into practice. It assumes participants already have a basic understanding of the iCentre concept (essential pre-reading is Lyn Hay’s Access commentary on the iCentre concept for those who have not). This is your opportunity to gain an insight into the practicalities of building an iCentre.

My keynote to the Northern Sydney Teacher Librarians Conference, Checkers Resort, Terrey Hills, NSW. My main message was to 'unthink the way you live and work' and rediscover yourself. The introduction of the Australian Curriculum provides teacher librarians with many rich opportunities to establish or invigorate their teaching role. This presentation explores the richness that inquiry learning offers as an interdisciplinary approach to support students in exploring the world, and developing important critical and creative skills, understandings and dispositions along the way.

Heutagogy: Changing the Playing Field (ICDE Pre-Conference Workshop)Lisa Marie Blaschke
Pre-Conference Workshop at the ICDE 2015 World Conference. How will heutagogy change the playing field? An introduction to heutagogy -- the study of self-determined learning -- and an exploration of the potential impact this learning and teaching approach has to influence our education systems.
What is Heutagogy? And And how can we use it to help develop self-determined ...Lisa Marie Blaschke
Today's employees must readily adapt to quickly changing and complex work environments, and employers are looking to educational institutions to produce employment-ready students who will hit the ground running. Learning to learn has become an overarching theme, and as a result, interest in the theory of heutagogy, or the study of self-determined learning, is on the rise. This webinar would provide an overview of the theory as well as research- and practice-based examples of how we can help guide our students along the pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy (PAH) continuum to become more self-determined learners.
Peeragogy presentation for E3Tech Conference July 28 - July 29
The purpose of Peeragogy and how we can successfully use new platforms and technologies with peer learning strategies to impact the way students learn
The presentation addresses the topic of pedagogy, and specifically, learner-centered education and the quality issues that surround and emerge as institutions transition to learner-centered education. The presentation also draws on the experiences we have had in our international master’s program in moving toward more competency-based education (a program offered together with the University of Maryland University College in the U.S.), identifying key quality issues and how these have been addressed. In addition, the presentation describes the trends — technologies (and delivery frameworks), pedagogies, political, social — that are working together to drive institutions toward more learner-centered education, as well as the opportunity e-learning institutions and organizations such as EDEN have to influence and lead this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A differentiated curriculum is a program of activities that
offers a variety of entry points for students who differ in
abilities, knowledge and skills. In a differentiated curriculum
teachers offer different approaches to what students learn
(content), how students learn (process) and how students
demonstrate what they have learned (product).

34. Personal learning environments
PLEs refer to student-designed learning approaches
that encompass different types of content — videos,
apps, games, social media tools, and more — chosen
by a student to match his or her personal learning style
and pace...
The goal is for students to have more control over
how they learn, and for teachers to set expectations
that their students will be more engaged in
understanding and applying their learning strategies....
many educators see PLEs as having considerable
potential to engage students in ways that best suit
their individual learning needs. (p. 8)

39. Just because the learning across curriculum areas is
segregated, does this mean that students‟ use of
technology tools has to be too
PTT implies a level of critical evaluation, personal
ownership and explicit preference in adopting and using
those technologies that an individual student has in their
toolkit
Teachers and TLs need to respect student preference and
gain an understanding of the reasons behind student
choice in adopting or eliminating a particular technology
However, we also need to find ways to help some students
consider expanding or revising their PTTs
