The future of schools and school libraries depends on

our capacity to empower and embrace the digital

literacy for 21C learning

displays

http://www.inanimatealice.com/

I decided that students would need to know how to ask good questions (higher level thinking questions), how to facilitate a conversation while still being able to get their

point across, how to manage the classroom, how to look for criticism and understand the criticism they

found, as well as understand what they read.

“If the teacher led the discussion I think it would have an 'artificial' feeling that would keep some students from having a deep

discussion. Since we are leading the discussion, it has a more

'authentic' feel that encourages deeper discussion”.
