Leading the Learning
Revolution
Leading the learning revolution requires us to adopt a new view of what learning is all about – creating a synergy between all learners through the power of the Teacher Librarian.
Learning today requires that teachers and teacher librarians understand reading and information seeking in a connected world....

Reading, writing, gaming, trans-media, immersive worlds, and augmented reality, are all part of the new digital frontiers leading the re-invention of learning.

The Internet has become a participatory medium, giving rise to an environment that is constantly being changed and reshaped by the
participation itself, changing the flow of news, effecting tacit as well as explicit knowledge, and embedding a new culture of learning.

Leading the Learning
Revolution
6.6 It is indisputable that the value of teacher librarians’ work has been eroded over the years and undervalued by many in the community, be it by colleagues, principals, parents or those in the wider school community.
Inquiry Report, 2011
School libraries and teacher librarians in 21st century Australia: Inquiry into school libraries and teacher librarians in Australian schools [electronic resource] / House of Representatives Standing Committee on Education and Employment Canberra
The inquiry has provided us with a substantial review that indicates the vital need to continue the conversation about what a teacher librarian is, does, and can do into the future.
Leading the Learning
Revolution
Successful learning for 21st century students is shaped by the digital environments within society and in our schools.
Learning in a changing
world series
The scholarship of teaching must be influenced and shaped by digital environments.
Learning in a changing

The teacher librarian must be a curriculum leader, supporting whole-school learning frameworks and initiatives that meet the challenges that the digital context has created.
Learning in a changing

“K-12 must address the increased blending of formal and informal learning.”
“Students can take advantage of learning material online, through games and programs they may have on systems at home, and through their extensive — and constantly available — social networks”

new expertise
People wanted information at their fingertips and the convenience that came with digital transactions.
In the social era it was all these things plus social connectivity. Mobility means information, convenience, and social all served up on the go, across a variety of screen sizes and devices.

Caine’s story
9 year old Caine Monroy spent his summer building an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad’s used auto parts store in east LA.
From flashmob to the Caine’s Arcade Imagination Foundation.
Mustafa’s device is based on a scientific mix between quantum physics, space technology,
chemical reactions and electrical sciences.

Game based learning
“There is an important distinction between games that ask players to provide “the answer” and those that challenge players to devise the best of what might be many different solutions to problems. In many cases, it means immersing players in simulated worlds or environments where their virtual decisions are the basis for game play.” Will Richardson http://www.districtadministration.com/article/gaming-gains-respect

Makerspace or Fab Lab in your school
Fabrication Labs (fab labs), Hackerspaces, and Tech Shops, share common goals: collaboration and 'making.'
The Fayetteville Free Library FFL Fab Lab.
“Computer Lab 2.0.” This 21st-century version has fewer computers but more technology plus far more interest for Verrado’s students. They have two MakerBots, some LEGO robotics stations, an Eggbot, a computer tear down area, a stop-motion animation stage, and an Arduino workbench.
