To maximize learning value from 1-to-1 programs in schools, computing devices need to be personal, portable and multifunctional. The increased access provided by 1-to-1 devices creates great opportunities for school-librarians to support their school technology directions and to implement 21st century information literacy and reading promotion programs. The key factor in the success of 1-to-1 programs is teacher implementation of appropriate pedagogies. Teacher-librarians have the chance to provide leadership in pedagogies that most effectively utilize these devices to improve learning outcomes.

Educational technology is the effective use of technological tools in learning. As a concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as media, machines and networking hardware, as well as considering theoretical perspectives for their effective application.
Educational technology is the effective use of technological tools in learning. As a concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as media, machines and networking hardware, as well as considering theoretical perspectives for their effective application.
According to the Association for Educational Communication and Technology (AECT, 2008) it is possible to define educational technology as “the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources” (Richey et al. 2008).
Engineers, technicians, and technologists:
technology as a tool for material construction based
on a systematic engineering knowledge of how to
design artifacts
Social scientists:
technology as a process for material construction
based on the organization of knowledge for the
achievement of practical purposes and also based
on any tool or technique of doing or making by
which capacity is extended (Luppicini 2005).
All things should be looked at from the perspective of behaviour.
And it doesn’t matter what is going on in the mind, it just matters what the behaviour
So there is no difference in the behaviourist mind between external behaviour and internal thoughts.

Structure of Intellect by Guilford
Guilford and his associates proposed the theory of Structure of Intellects on their attempt of factor analysis.
Process of operation ;Material or content;Product
Cognition: This involves immediate discovery, rediscovery, awareness, comprehension and understanding.
Memory recording: It is a fundamental operation. It refers to the retention of what is recognised for a short duration.
Memory retention: It means the retention of what is recognised for a long period of time.
Divergent thinking: It refers to the generation of information from the given data where the emphasis is on conventionally accepted best outcomes.
Convergent thinking: It involves thinking in different directions, searching and seeking some different variety and novelty. It is closely related with creativity. It simply means thinking out of the box.
Evaluation: It refers to the reaching of conclusion and decision as the goodness, correctness, adequacy and desirability of information.
Material or Contents:
Visual content: It refers to the concrete material perceived through ideas and thoughts.
Symbolic content: t refers to the composition of letters, digits or other conventional signs and symbols usually organised in general patterns.
Semantic content: t refers to the clear verbal form of meanings or ideas for which no examples are necessary.
Behavioural content: It refers to the social intelligence which enables one to understand human communications.
Products:
Units: This is similar to Gestalt psychology of figure and ground; relatively segregated items.
Classes: It refers to conceptions underlying sets of information or data grouped by virtue of their common properties.
Relations: It refers to the connections between items of information based on variables. These connections are more meaningful and definable.
Systems: It refers to the aggregate of items of information or data with a structure.
Transformations: It refers to the changes like redefination, modification in existing information or its functions.
Implications: It refers to the explorations of information in the form of expectancies, predictions and consequences.

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.

Editor's Notes
“Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Throughout history, storytelling has been used to share knowledge, wisdom, and values. Stories have taken many different forms. Stories have been adapted to each successive medium that has emerged, from the circle of the campfire to the silver screen, and now the computer screen.”
– The Digital Storytelling Association
Media is the plural of medium.
Medium is the information that is communicated between the giver and receiver.
Stories are instruments of learning
Digital Storytelling is another medium that can be used to provide your students with information. It can be just as academic rigorous as a research paper.
Reading from the textbook and reviewing Power Point presentations that summarize your textbook are not always sufficient.
Digital stories can highlight an important event and/or topic; they can engage students in a way that will leave a lasting impression.
Promote academic standards- effective strategy to learn science, arts, humanities, social sciences, promote multicultural perspectives.
Provides 21 century skills: Research Skills, Writing, Presentation Skills, Problem-Solving and Creative Thinking Skills
Developing your Digital Story
Pre-writing: brainstorming, collecting images, researching, outlining, and storyboarding
Drafting: creating a script … what comes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc…..
Revising: modifying images and organization
Editing: timing, images, and narration
Publishing: the final product
Get together thoughts that share beliefs, feelings… these all make a good story!
Make an outline
Gather photos
Review videos
Create a visual narrative
Will the voice/narrative enhance or detract from the story?
Sounds can give the story rhythm and character
PRINCIPLE: Under fair use, educators using the concepts and techniques of medialiteracy can integrate copyrighted material into curriculum materials, includingbooks, workbooks, podcasts, DVD compilations, videos, Web sites, and othermaterials designed for learning.
LIMITATIONS: Wherever possible, educators should provide attribution for quotedmaterial, and of course they should use only what is necessary for the educationalgoal or purpose. The materials should meet professional standards for curriculumdevelopment, with clearly stated educational objectives, a description of instructionalpractices, assignments, and assessment criteria.
The free, open-source program Audacity can capture sound from either a computer's built-in mike or an external microphone.
Audacity records voice files from a microphone.
You can use a headphone microphone or a handheld microphone that is connected via USB port.
After you use Audacity to record voice, it saves as an Audacity project file (.aup)
The .aup file needs to be converted to an .mp3 file or “exported” using the LAME MP3 Encoder software that can be downloaded for free and works inside Audacity.
.mp3 files can only be linked in a PPT, and not embedded (so this means if you are inserting a .mp3 file in a PowerPoint, and emailing the PPT, they person receiving that PPT will not have the sound…) There is a free converter to use to embed music files in PPT called CDex http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/
The technique is to add a header to the .mp3 file that will convince PowerPoint that it is actually a wav file. Too technical to explain it here, but willing to do so in another workshop.
PC Sound Recorder - – found from the Start Menu/All Programs/ Accessories /Entertainment /Sound Recorder
(Record your voice using a microphone.
Use the record button and stop button.
Save the file. This sound recorder will save in the .wav format.
.wav files can be embedded, however .wav file format is a large file size and makes huge PPT files
.wav files can be embedded and shared more easily.
Consider converting a .wav file to a .MP3 file format to reduce the file size
Next, go out and grab the music in digital form: Use a high-quality mp3 or rip a track from a favorite CD with one of the dozens of free CD-ripper programs on the market. (I prefer Windows Media Player.) To rip a track off a CD follow these steps:
Put in favorite music CD in CD drive
Open up Windows Media Player
On the menu bar, click on Rip
Choose “Format” mp3
Choose “More Options” , then change the location of where you want to save your file
Make a choice to Rip CD when inserted or only in the Rip tab
Click OK
Then select the track you want ripped to mp3 and viola!
The mp3 file appears in your destination folder!
Or use original music recorded by students singing. Next, import the track into your video-editing program.

Point of View: All stories are told to make a point. What message are you trying to convey? What is the theme of the story?
Dramatic Question: a good story has a hook to draw in the audience.
Emotional Content: providing emotion provides interest
Economy: Use the least amount of images to tell the story. Selection of images should illustrate the theme without being a distraction. Too many images can confuse the audience.
Pacing: Use pauses, regulate tempo, speed of the story. The change in pace draws interest, allows the audience to think and reflect
Voice: Use voice to tell the story: Tone: Slow, Fast, Loud, Soft Pitch: Vary to add emotion
Soundtrack: Music sets the mood and enhances the story
