      Yes!  This is exactly what we are thinking!
  • school officials will strive for a philosophical, functional, and physical merger of the school library with the IT program, with a faculty center and spaces for staff development, as well as spaces where teachers can work with (and learn from) students, school librarians, and IT staff; and
  • beyond the library walls
  • viewed primarily as a cost, rather than as an investment,
  • trying to create a good program by simply redesigning space without paying attention to staffing.
  • Teaching people to effectively find and use information to meet their needs.”
  • the 21st century school library must look beyond tradition to the future, to what is needed to help fulfill the educational mission, goals, and objectives of the school.
  • he library will be a sacred space dedicated to honoring those who use the library to meet whatever informational, educational, socialization and personal needs they might have.
  • broadest mission

  • libraries and librarians are needed now more than ever
  • a mix of print and non-print materials
  • consider providing more space for instructional purposes.
  • As much as possible we should be designing flexible spaces so that space required today for book storage can easily be converted for other purposes in the future.
  • he emphasis must be on the quality of the collection, not the quantity.

      Is this still true?
  • quiet reflection will remain a need of humans for a very long time.

      Hence our 'requirement' that both teachers and students work on their portfolios at the end of a unit after using the MALT Center.
  • The glut of information that keeps expanding overwhelms most people, and libraries and librarians are needed to help guide and teach students and teachers to cope.

SIIA System Redesign for Personalizing Learning - 0 views

  •  
    A white paper from a conference in 2010. It neatly summarizes some of the key considerations for personalizing learning. It will probably be most useful for framing conversations for change in our district rather than acting as a blueprint.

Melbourne Museum: Melbourne Museum - 0 views

  •  
    This is one of our stops during the Australia trip.  New technologies enable museums to create learning experiences for teenagers where they can authentically research, create, communicate and collaborate. Museum Victoria is using 21st century communication technologies to support students to investigate the past, both online and onsite. This session will outline how two programs developed by Museum Victoria, Making History and 600 million years in 60 seconds, are transforming museum learning for 21st century learners. The new programs enable teenagers to collaborate with their peers, communicate their ideas, create new digital media and make sense of the world around them. 600 million years in 60 seconds is an onsite education program at Melbourne Museum where exhibition objects are the learning focus and ICT tools are used by students to communicate their understanding of key concepts. Making History is an online resource where experts share historical knowledge and experience as well as an online gallery that can host student generated digital histories.
