Shake well before use: Library collections for blended learning
Is a collection of resources fundamental to the school library's role? In emerging learning environments what priority should be given to balanced, professionally selected and managed collections?
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 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.
This document provides guidance on marketing the library through effective communication strategies. It emphasizes that libraries must promote themselves in order to attract users, as people will not automatically know about improvements or new offerings. The key recommendations are to clearly define the target audience, positioning, promises, and desired actions when marketing the library. Specific tactics discussed include newsletters, displays, events, and finding creative ways to engage both regular and new users. The overall message is that libraries need an intentional promotion plan to build awareness and encourage greater use.
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.
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.
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.
