2. When you stand at the
door of your library and
look inside, what is your
school library dream?

3. What does your library
look like, sound like, and
feel like - to you and to
your students and
teachers?

Portable, socially
powered, focused
on life-stream,
content, and
powered by
widgets, drag and
drop, and mashups
of user engagement.
12. The King James Bible
required seven years to
translate and many
months for scribes to
copy.
Now we can have it
‘whispernetted’ into
electronic paper in
moments.
13. Once again, it
was a book that
inspired many
radical changes in
our global society.
20. “In meeting readers
where they are the role
of the school librarian
is to promote books
and reading, in old
ways and new ways”.

“For students
information literacy
action happens
wherever they read
and interpret the world
around them, not just in
the library or the
classroom”.
24. “Learning today requires
teachers to understand
reading and information
seeking in a connected
world.”
Change has arrived at an iSchool library near you. Judy O’Connell
Knowledge 2.0
25. “Provide the divergence
and convergence in
media needed to foster
motivation,
differentiation,
collaboration and
connections necessary
for 21st century
learning.”

delivered via all

devices.”

28. “Part of rethinking how
schools work is
redefining what skill
mastery looks like.
Integrating technology
into the curriculum is
putting a new twist on
how teachers and
students approach
knowledge acquisition.”

29. • ask good questions in order to get good
answers
• access and acquire material from the
appropriate digital information sources
• analyse the raw material to distinguish value,
bias, and re-usable information
• apply the knowledge within a real-world
problem or simulation
• assess the process and the product.
Knowledge 2.0
30. “The more we interact
with these information
spaces, the more the
environment changes,
and the very act of finding
information reshapes not
only the context that gives
that information meaning,
but also the meaning
itself.”

story with the
yellow blotch?
SearchReSearch blog
http://searchresearch1.blogspot.com.au/
A blog about search, search skills, teaching search, learning how to search, learning how to
use Google effectively, learning how to do research. It also covers a good deal of sense-
making and information foraging.
35. For several years people have
been fascinated by small, robot-
like figures popping up in city
streets and other innocuous
places. These figures, now
documented in flickr pools and
blog posts from cities arose the
world, can be attributed to
Stikman (sometimes searched for
and referred to as "stickman"), an
anonymous graffiti artist,
sometimes perhaps going by the
alias "Bob," who has been putting
these images up since at least
2006.
http://searchresearch1.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/wednesday-search-challenge-11613-whats.html
Search for 'painted
yellow man robot'
yielded 'stickman' for a
better explanation.

41. Rather than simply identifying a useful page, these
systems try to pull the information from those pages
that might be what a user is looking for, and to make
this immediately apparent.
More informative results?
42. Learn about the latest
additions to search so as to
get the most out of Google.

everyone starts!

45. By demonstrating how to connect a
database information repository (such
as EBSCO, Gale, or JStor) or a local
library service with Google Scholar,
we are helping students broaden the
scope of their information seeking,
while at the same time refining the
quality of the information response.

The OZTL_NET Discussion List is an email-based forum
for information professionals working in Australian schools.
It is supported by the teacher librarianship academic staff at
the School of Information Studies , Charles Sturt University.
Discussion is open to all members of the Australian TL
community and any people with a genuine interest in
teacher librarianship and/or school libraries.
81. In talking about school libraries and the
essential paradigm shift that is taking place,
Stanley (2011) highlights three areas of
influence:
Information fluency — using search engines
effectively; evaluating online information;
collaborating in virtual environments, and
delivering material resources online.
Digital citizenship — understanding
responsible and ethical use of information, and
maintaining safe online practices.
Digital storytelling — reading, writing and
listening to books in many formats; creating,
collaborating and sharing in a range of
mediums.
Digital citizenship

84. Evolving Learning Landscape
Current thinking about 21st century skills, and the learning
experiences that support their development, are essential
starting points for capacity building. A list of the workforce
skills presented by Davies, et al (2011, pp. 8-12) include:
• Sense-making
• Social intelligence
• Novel and adaptive thinking
• Cross-cultural competency
• Computational thinking
• New-media literacy
• Transdisciplinarity
• Design mindset
• Cognitive load management
• Virtual collaboration

89. Education’s value-add is
in coaching and
troubleshooting
when students are
applying their learning,
and in challenging
students to apply their
thinking to hands-on
learning by
doing and teaming.

92. Choose the right tool to re-frame
information collection and organisation as
highly flexible and collaborative information
and knowledge conversations.
96. I need to search, scan, and
select the best resources I can
find for my own personal
interests, and by making my
choices available to others, I
create a resource for many
besides myself.It’s about knowing, learning,
sharing, and teaching, all in one.
