    This article was published in Learning and Leading with Technology (lovingly referred to as L&L in Ed Tech world).  I try not to just list every new website I 'stumble upon' but only the ones that look as if they might actually be used by teachers.  Storify might just be one of the keepers.

    Check out Google's new tool for taking data (i.e. coffee growers world wide) and turning into a map.  Very interesting.  Nice follow up to the Gapminder video.

  • blending video tutorials about complex concepts into a high-quality project-based curriculum has its place in the learning process.
  • Years of research have proved that an individual's ownership of new knowledge comes through constructive, productive, creative activities, not through passive consumption of instructional tutorials or reading textbooks.

    This is one of the schools we visited, and was one of my favorites.  I have some footage of their language class.  All these little ones have iPads and it is just amazing to watch them use them.

  • The truth is, if you want a decent job that will lead to a decent life today you have to work harder, regularly reinvent yourself, obtain at least some form of postsecondary education, make sure that you’re engaged in lifelong learning and play by the rules. That’s not a bumper sticker, but we terribly mislead people by saying otherwise.
  • lifelong learning is the key to getting into, and staying in, the middle class.
  • “illiteracy will not be defined by those who cannot read and write, but by those who cannot learn and relearn.” Any form of standing still is deadly.

      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
  • Today’s library is a learning place, not a warehouse space.
  • fluid
  • Libraries must be spaces where multiple activities can take place simultaneously.
  • ifferent types of environments
  • ook at places where kids DO want to be
  • brary staff and a library program in place before facility planning
  • help as you can from an experienced, reputable school library facility design consultant—
  • Involve the stakeholders
  • Be adventurous,
  • complex
  • And I always say, design for the technologies that are available NOW, not those just over the horizon. The horizon might be further away than you anticipate.
  • 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.

      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.

    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.
