  1. 1. When everyone has a library in their pocket or in their bag, what is the new role of the Teacher Librarian in the 21st Century?
    Change doesnt care if you like it or not!

  2. 2. Views from the revolution
    Generally learners:
    are not good curators
    are not good resource managers
    are not good searchers
    do not understand metadata
    do not understand the cloud or the semantic web
    are not able to assess source credibility
    are not able to assess veracity
    think a LMS will save them, up until it doesnt
    confuse digital citizenship with cybersafety

  7. 7. When everyone has a library in their pocket or in their bag, what is the new role of the Teacher Librarian in the 21st Century?
    Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
    Albert Einstein
  8. 8. Im against it
  9. 9. I encourage students to use a range of technology in myLibrary?
    Students would like to use technology in their learning?
    I would like my own children to utilise technology in their education?
    I own a mobile phone with internet/email access?
    If there is a difference between #1 and #2, then there is tension in the classroom - the students want to use technology whereas the teacher doesn't.
    If #1 is more than #3 then we have a moral issue - teachers want their own children to utilise technology in their classrooms but do not want to undertake such practices in their own classroom with other people's children that they as teachers have responsibility for regarding their education.
