Digital connectivity is a transformative phenomenon of the 21st century. While many have debated its impact on society, educators have been quick to mandate technology in school development - often without analysing the digital fluency of those involved, and the actual impact on learning. Is being digitally tethered creating a new learning nexus for those involved?

Blended learning strategies vary according to the discipline, the year level, student characteristics and learning outcomes, and have a student-centred approach to the learning design. Blended learning can increase access and flexibility for learners, increase level of active learning, and achieve better student experiences and outcomes.
The world is in a constant state of change. The changes are profoundly affecting every
part of the fabric of our society.
Education is particularly is affected by change, with a
direct impact on the cultures of our schools and universities, and also by projection –
with implications for all our futures.
It is likely that the students we now teach will leave school to enter a world of work
that is radically different to the world with which we are currently familiar.
The evolution of digital media has brought us to an unprecedented point in history
where we are able to connect, create and collaborate in new ways on a global basis.
Knowledge production is burgeoning, to the extent that any fact or statistic is now
openly searchable and available on the Web. Such cultural shifts necessitate new
modes of thinking, new ways of communication and new rules of engagement with
people, content and organisations.
Mobile technologies, handheld devices and social media have combined to create
fertile, anytime-anyplace learning opportunities that are unprecedented. Teachers and
learners are adapting to these new untethered and ubiquitous modes of education,
and in so doing, are discovering an entirely new array of skills which we shall call the
‘digital literacies’. These include the ability to learn across and between multiple and
diverse platforms, the ability to self broadcast to large audiences and the discernment
to select and filter out good and bad content, all achievable within ever changing mediated environments.
What will be the new skills and literacies that teachers and students will need, to
survive and thrive in the digital age? How will assessment of learning change? What
will be the expectations of young learners, and will these differ from what the
institutions can offer? Ultimately, how will teachers prepare students for a world of
work we can no longer clearly describe?

Pedagogy and School Libraries: Developing agile approaches in a digital ageJudy O'Connell
Libraries for future learners: one day conference to inspire, connect and inform teacher librarians and school leaders thinking about future learning needs.

Held at Rydges World Square, Sydney.
Digital Scholarship powered by reflection and reflective practice through the...Judy O'Connell
Current online information environments and the associated social and pedagogical transactions within them create an important information ecosystem that can and should influence and shape the professional engagement and digital scholarship within our learning communities in the higher education sector. Thanks to advances in technology, the powerful tools at our disposal to help students understand and learn in unique ways are enabling new ways of producing, searching and sharing information and knowledge. By leveraging technology, we have the opportunity to open new doors to scholarly inquiry for ourselves and our students. While practical recommendations for a wide variety of ways of working with current online technologies are easily marketed and readily adopted, there is insufficient connection to digital scholarship practices in the creation of meaning and knowledge through more traditional approaches to the ‘portfolio’. In this context, a review of the portfolio integration into degree programs under review in the School of Information Studies led to an update of the portfolio approach in the professional experience subject to an extended and embedded e-portfolio integrated throughout the subject and program experience. This was done to support a strong connection between digital scholarship, community engagement, personal reflection and professional reflexive practices. In 2013 the School of Information Studies established CSU Thinkspace, a branded Wordpress solution from Campus Press, to better serve the multiple needs and learning strategies identified for the Master of Education programs. The aim was to use a product that replicates the authentic industry standard tools used in schools today, and to model the actual ways in which these same teachers can also work in digital environments with their own students or in their own professional interactions. This paper will review how the ePortfolio now provides reflective knowledge construction, self-directed learning, and facilitate habits of lifelong learning within their professional capabilities.

The term sketchnoting describes a style of visual note-taking recently gaining popularity among conference attendees. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be an artist to sketchnote and to take advantage of a different type of learning and making content connections beyond conference keynotes . Sketchnoting is helping make your thinking visible and shareable as you are reading a professional book, watching a movie clip, reading an educational blog post or article or listening to a lecture of conference keynote.
This workshop is for educators who want to hone their abilities to listen more intently, summarize and organize their notes in a visual way and learn how to do this with their students. NO artistic talent required.

Digital Learning Environments: A multidisciplinary focus on 21st century lear...Judy O'Connell
As a result of an extensive curriculum review a new multi-disciplinary degree programme in education and information studies was developed to uniquely facilitate educators’ capacity to be responsive to the demands
of a digitally connected world. Charles Sturt University’s Master of Education (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) aims to develop agile leaders in new cultures of digital formal and informal learning. By examining key features and influences of global connectedness,
information organisation, communication and participatory cultures of learning, students are provided with the opportunity to reflect on their professional practice in a networked learning community, and to improve learning and teaching in digital environments.

Future of the Internet Predictions March 2014 PIP ReportVasily Ryzhonkov
This report is the latest research report in a sustained effort throughout 2014 by the Pew Research Center to mark the 25th anniversary of the creation of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He wrote a paper on March 12, 1989 proposing an “information management” system that became the conceptual and architectural structure for the Web. He eventually released the code for his system — for free — to the world on Christmas Day in 1990. It became a milestone in easing the way for ordinary people to access documents and interact over the Internet — a system that linked computers and that had been around for years.
The Web became a major layer of the Internet. Indeed, for many, it became synonymous with the Internet, even though that is not technically the case. Its birthday offers an occasion to revisit the ways it has made the Internet a part of Americans’ social lives.
Our first report tied to the anniversary looked at the present and the past of the Internet, marking its strikingly fast adoption and assessing its impact on American users’ lives. This report is part of an effort by the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project in association with Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center to look at the future of the Internet, the Web, and other digital activities. This is the first of eight reports based on a canvassing of hundreds of experts about the future of such things as privacy, cybersecurity, the “Internet of things,” and net neutrality. In this case we asked experts to make their own predictions about the state of digital life by the year 2025. We will also explore some of the economic change driven by the spectacular progress that made digital tools faster and cheaper. And we will report on whether Americans feel the explosion of digital information coursing through their lives has helped them be better informed and make better decisions.
This report is a collaborative effort based on the input and analysis of the following individuals.

Literature in digital environments: Changes and emerging trends in Australian...Judy O'Connell
Igniting a passion for reading and research is core business for school libraries, inevitably placing the library at the centre of the 21st century reading and learning experience. It is in this context that digital literature creates some challenging questions for teachers and librarians in schools, while the emergence of digital technology and/or device options also offers a great many opportunities. Collection development in school libraries encompasses an understanding of the need to contextualise these e-literature needs within the learning and teaching experiences in the school. The Australian Library and Information Association’s 2013 statement Future of collections 50:50 predicted that library print and ebook collections in libraries would establish a 50:50 equilibrium by 2020 and that this balance would be maintained for the foreseeable future. This statement from the Australian professional body raised the need to know more about e-collections in school libraries. For teacher librarians in Australian schools, the nature of online collections, and the integration of ebooks into the evolving reading culture is influenced by the range and diversity of texts, interfaces, devices, and experiences available to complement existing print and media collections or services. Management and budget constraints also influence e-collections. By undertaking a review of the literature, a discussion of the education context, and a critical analysis of the trends evidenced by national survey data, this paper presents an overview of the changes and emerging trends in digital literature and ebook collections in school library services in Australia today.
Leadership in a connected age: Change, challenge and productive chaos!Judy O'Connell
We cannot hold back the forces of change. The 21st century leader recognises that without keeping an eye on the future we may be doomed to remaining a prisoner of the past. With this eye on the future, the agile leader welcomes innovation, embraces change and thrives on chaos. What skills are necessary to survive in the future? What do you need to do today? Trends in knowledge construction, participatory cultures and social networks can give us the blueprint to successful leadership in our connected age. SchoolsTechOZ Conference, 5 September 2014. http://www.iwb.net.au/
A lot of talk about the future of the internet sounds almost hippie-spiritual or faux-philosophical. The Internet is not the same as the world-wide-web. But the Internet-of-Things and the Semantic Web - all parts of Web 3.0, are beginning to be very important to our learning environments. Here is a summary of key features, ranging from access, creativity, and information architecture.
Building a Vibrant Future for School Librarians through Online Conversations ...Judy O'Connell
Technology and social media platforms are driving an unprecedented reorganization of the learning environment in and beyond schools around the world. Technology provides us leadership challenges and at the same time offers opportunities for communication and learning through technology channels to support professional development. School librarians and teacher librarians are often working as the sole information practitioner in their school, and need to stay in touch with others beyond their own school to develop their personal professional capacity to lead within their school. The Australian Teacher Librarian Network aims to make a difference, and supports school library staff in Australia and around the world to build professional networks and personal learning connections, offering an open and free exchange of ideas, strategies and resources to build collegiality. This ongoing professional conversation through online and social media channels is an important way to connect, communicate and collaborate in building a vibrant future for school librarians.

This degree is designed to develop agile leaders in new cultures of digital formal and informal learning, with flexible program options in knowledge networking, global information flow, advanced search techniques, learning analytics, social media, game-based learning, digital literature, learning spaces design and more. Ideal for educators, school leaders, ICT integrators, teacher librarians, instructional designers, learning support specialists and teacher educators, who are seeking to develop expertise in global and community networked knowledge environments.
How will education libraries best serve their communities in 2015?
Why do we need to organise information more effectively? How do we incorporate the evolving semantic web environments? In a world of API and big data, libraries (and in particular school libraries) are faced with a significant ‘conceptual’ challenge. The new RDA cataloguing standard will substantively influence and then change information organization, focusing on users, access and interoperability. Search interfaces will be the key. We’re not dealing with records anymore. We are working with interrelated nodes of data. Are you prepared?

Let's talk for 10 minutes about creativity, creative commons, and working with images in online spaces. Whether it's blogging, creating presentations teachers need to be able to work quickly, with excitement, and be able to model design and management principles.
Educators are increasingly using new media and digital technologies to teach and engage their 21st century students. Reading, writing, gaming, trans-media, immersive worlds, augmented reality, and Web 3.0 are all part of the new digital frontiers. Whether it’s science or science fiction, Alice in Wonderland or Angry Birds, the dynamics of this new information ecology are transforming learning experiences in our schools. We can lead this learning revolution by ensuring that our library and the learning ecology we create can harness these new environments. How we do this, will determine our success and the future relevance and importance of our school libraries.
Social Media, Social Networking and School Libraries.Judy O'Connell
Social networking is a participatory medium that is changing the very nature of our professional connections, our community practices and the nature of learning interactions in these environments. It has become essential for teacher librarians to become professionally competent social media use to be able learn, teach, and communicate in 21st century environments
Web 2.0 allows students and educators to create and interact both synchronously and asynchronously, formally or informally, at school, at home, in distance education programs, in the workplace, on all manner of devices. This shift has required an open mind about future possibilities, while also documenting innovative or exemplar practices and their relationship to curriculum. Now Web 3.0 heralds a further development in online information behaviours and knowledge discovery techniques. Are we keeping up-to-date with the relevant network and social media changes that are affecting the online learning environment that we wish to embrace? Can you spot the wolf in sheep’s clothing?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

learning theories are seen through technology.

33. Participatory pedagogy
Participatory pedagogies recognise the
popular and cultural meanings of apps,
social media and tools and the ways in which
young people adapt such media in both
reflexive and non-reflexive ways for their own
aims and purposes.
34. Participatory pedagogy
They include such activities as learning
through social networking, searching and
retrieving information, researching
information, using information, games,
collaboration and shared interests.
35. Participatory pedagogy
Encouraging young people to become
reflexive, or more reflexive, about their
practices, behaviours and ethics is vital both
in the development of their stance as media
managers and producers and in the
development of voice, agency, personalisation
and an ethical stance to their own practices.
36. In talking about the essential paradigm shift that is
taking place, Stanley (2011) highlights three areas
of influence:
Information fluency — using search engines
effectively; evaluating online information;
collaborating in virtual environments, and
delivering material resources online.
Digital citizenship — understanding responsible
and ethical use of information, and maintaining
safe online practices.
Digital storytelling — reading, writing and
listening to books in many formats; creating,
collaborating and sharing in a range of mediums.

37. • “Knowledge assembly,” building a “reliable information hoard” from
diverse sources.
• Retrieval skills, plus “critical thinking” for making informed judgements
about retrieved information, with wariness about the validity and
completeness of internet sources.
• Reading and understanding non-sequential and dynamic material.
• Awareness of the value of traditional tools in conjunction with networked
media.
• Awareness of “people networks” as sources of advice and help.
• Using filters and agents to manage incoming information.
• Being comfortable with publishing and communicating information as
well as accessing it.

starting points for capacity building. A list of the workforce
skills presented by Davies, et al (2011, pp. 8-12) include:
• Sense-making
• Social intelligence
• Novel and adaptive thinking
• Cross-cultural competency
• Computational thinking
• New-media literacy
• Transdisciplinarity
• Design mindset
• Cognitive load management
• Virtual collaboration

“In addition to affecting the type of work we do,
digital and mobile technologies are changing how
we do it, where we do it (at home or remotely) and
who our competition is”.

systems try to pull the information from those pages
that might be what a user is looking for, and to make
this immediately apparent.

A blog about search, search skills, teaching search, learning how to
search, learning how to use Google effectively, learning how to do
research. It also covers a good deal of sense making and
information foraging.
67. For several years people have
been fascinated by small, robot-
like figures popping up in city
streets and other innocuous
places. These figures, now
documented in flickr pools and
blog posts from cities arose the
world, can be attributed to
Stikman (sometimes searched for
and referred to as "stickman"), an
anonymous graffiti artist,
sometimes perhaps going by the
alias "Bob," who has been putting
these images up since at least
2006.

Search for 'painted

yielded 'stickman' for a

Search Challenge (9/30/15): Thinking outside the box
Some problems are hard.
But often, if you know where and how to search, the answers
can be found without an excess of work.
This week's Challenge is an example of exactly this idea.
If you spend more than 5 minutes on this Challenge, you
should stop and think to yourself: How else can I solve this
Challenge? Once you figure out the method, you'll see why
I've posted this particular Challenge, and you'll have yet
another arrow in your quiver of SearchResearch skills.
69. 1. Can you create a chart showing the difference in the populations
between North and South Korea since 1970? (Just a simple line graph
would be fine, thanks.)
2. Can you compute the market cap, total revenue, and number of
outstanding shares for each of the companies IBM, Apple, Google, and
Xerox?
3. Having recently dived in the Caribbean, I'm really interested in
whale sharks. Can you quickly compare blue whales, gray whales,
sperm whales, and whale sharks in terms of (a) lifespan, (b) maximum
length, (c) weight? (Just the facts, ma'am.)
As I said, this really is a 5 minute Challenge. Do you know a method to
make your searches that quick and effective for this kinds of data
collection / comparison?
Search on!
70. Learn about the latest
additions to search so as to
get the most out of Google.

71. Google Knowledge Graph
When you search, you’re not just
looking for a webpage.
You’re looking to get answers,
understand or explore.
Google alerts too!
78. FutureLab (2010) propose that being “digitally literate is to
have access to a broad range of practices
and cultural resources that you are able to
apply to digital tools. It is the ability to make and share
meaning in different modes and formats; to create, collaborate
and communicate effectively and to understand how and when
digital technologies can best be used to support these
processes.’

choices available to others, I
create a resource for many
besides myself.It’s about knowing, learning,

content curation
is that you don’t
re-invent the
wheel - you
share!
