E-Learning Journeys: A Vision for a School Library - 1 views

Mary Fran Torpey on 19 May 10We need to analyse and come to a better understanding of the impact of technology, and in particular our 1:1 implementation in the Secondary School, on students and their media habits. Asking students to be using books more may not be the answer, and in fact may be a reactionary approach. Maybe we need to reduce the number of books on shelves to provide room for better designed spaces e.g. 'sound-proofed' smaller areas where 4-5 people can plug a laptop into a large flat screen and collaborate over research or other online/multimedia task Maybe we need to set up podcasting stations and higher-end computers for enhanced video work in areas that all can access, not just in specialist rooms Maybe we need to initiate more discussions based on the reading material available, eg latest magazines and encourage higher order thinking through interaction with other communities and libraries via video conferencing and virtual classrooms
