Our Information Age began, for all intents and purposes, in April of 1993 when the Mosaic 1.0 browser made the World Wide Web available—for free—not just for use but for contribution and participation by anyone with access to the Internet.
Its open architecture, and its lack of a “director” or “owner”made the potential for worldwide co-creation of knowledge, art, science, literature, animation, and all the rest possible.
“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”

It makes sense to interact both synchronously and asynchronously, formally or informally, at school, at home, or on mobile devices.
Without question, teachers owe it to
their students to “keep up”

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.

The Future Isn't About Mobile; It's About Mobility
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.

It makes incredible sense to consider how ‘internet
spaces’ social software and mobile devices can be used to leverage opportunities for learning.

The general capabilities included in the Australian Curriculum are:
• Literacy• Numeracy• Information and communication technology
capability• Critical and creative thinking• Personal and social capability• Ethical behaviour• Intercultural understanding.
The core attributes found in the ISTE and IASL standards include:
•intellectual curiosity and innovation
•ability to locate, select, evaluate and structure information
•problem solving and decision-making creative and critical thinking
•communication, negotiation and collaboration
skills
The core attributes found in the ISTE and IASL standards include:
•ethical and productive users and producers of media
•responsible and flexible users of social media
•active digital citizenship
•capacity to think across disciplines and form authentic knowledge
connections.
Teacher librarians can play a
leading role in schools in relation
to the social and ethical issues of
online publishing and usage,
cyber bullying, plagiarism and
copyright.
School libraries should be hubs
of professional development,
action research, and idea
experimentation as teacher
librarians work collaboratively
with students and teachers.
The spaces and places of libraries should be physical and virtual, adopting and adapting Web 2.0 new media tools to enhance and envelop school learning communities into a series of globally powered learning commons—dynamic, collaborative 21st century library environments!
School libraries: The paradigm flip
Teachers and teacher librarians will then actively work alongside students, sometimes leading, sometimes
following, and crafting an environment where students can always know what, where and how to be the best learners they can possibly be.

School libraries and teacher librarians
can be leaders in today’s interactive enquiry environments.

Interfaces for discovery
What do we want from technology?How can we create better experiences?
More content, streams of data,
topic structures, (theoretically)
better quality – all of these in
online environments require an
equivalent shift in our online
capabilities.
The abundance of information and flexibility of technology will not in itself create more effective
learners without a complementary understanding and capacity to use information.

Our students need to know how to juxtapose text, sound, media and social connections in real time.

Digital mistake: Confusing access to information and technology with learning!
Digital mistake: forgetting to remain adept and proficient with new and emerging tools and interfaces.

When your formative years are spent working your fingers through apps and iPads, smartphones and YouTube, the digital world and its habits can bend and shape not just how you access information, but how you conceptualise it entirely.
Google creates the illusion of accessibility
Being linear, Google obscures the interdependence of information.
New developments in search, such as Google
instant (that shows results as you type) have
both enhanced & hindered the information
seeking habits of students by responding quickly
to search terms, and so making keyword
customization seem less relevant.

Search is fast without necessarily being intelligent.

What else can we do?
alsoGoogle Scholar Alerts
By showing our students 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.

Put intelligence back into search
Content Curation
The natural limitations of search has resulted in expansion of choice in information curation.
The traditional social bookmarking sites like diigo, pearltrees, Scoopit, and others enable users to save information, while products like pinterest allow for collection of visual artifacts, allowing users to organize them into infinite categories.
