#DEANZ14 | Social networking and professional learning
ABSTRACT
The trend towards collaborative social software and technology in education appears to be exponential. The notion of ‘Web 2.0’ seems almost traditional in the face of aggregation tools and multi-platform spaces, intertwined by a proliferation of social networking tools. With the roll-out of ultrafast broadband and the development of the N4L managed network in New Zealand, it is timely to consider the extent to which online social networks present both challenge and opportunity for educators’ professional learning.
This paper, derived from a thesis completed in partial fulfillment of a Masters in Education, explores the experiences of educators using the VLN Groups network (www.vln.school.nz) to determine how far this user generated mode of professional learning might extend professional practices in school. The study considered the ways and the extent to which the affordances of the VLN Groups social network site combine to affect educators' abilities to engage in effective professional learning.
This study suggests that the VLN Groups can provide a thriving participatory system that enables educators to engage in an informal kind of professional learning focused on immediate concerns and contexts in their own teaching and leadership situations. It also raises questions related to 'counts' as professional learning and how self-driven learning can be integrated into a cycle of active inquiry into practice. The study makes recommendations for teachers, schools and policy makers related to connecting and coordinating professional learning in ways that maximise opportunities in the digital age.

This document discusses transitioning a traditional school library to a dynamic learning commons. It outlines why the transition is needed to better support student and faculty needs in the digital age. Key aspects of the transition include going bookless, providing curated learning resources, and transforming the space into an active learning environment instead of a quiet study space. The transition process at one school took place from 2007 to 2011 and involved changes to staffing, technology, space design, and priorities to make the library a more collaborative and student-centered learning commons.
The document discusses various web 2.0 and mobile tools that can be used for learning and research, including tools for networking, organizing references, collecting and curating research materials, collaborative writing, and disseminating work. It provides information on social networks, reference managers, online notebooks, blogs, and academic profiling platforms and encourages researchers to start using some of these tools.
The document discusses predictions for libraries in 2020. It describes how library spaces may evolve from places for quiet study to active learning hubs. It also explores how print collections may decrease as electronic resources grow, though reliability and access issues remain. The role of librarians is envisioned to shift from stamping books to providing expertise through embedded roles and research support. The future library catalog is predicted to involve more collaborative cataloging and value-added features rather than exhaustive records.
The document discusses alternative careers for librarians and information professionals. It outlines various career paths outside of traditional librarian roles that still utilize important skills, including working in different sectors, jobs, or industries. Examples are given such as technology roles, research, communications, and more. The document provides advice on exploring alternative careers, including skills audits, networking, tailoring applications, and believing in one's abilities to find new opportunities.
The document discusses introducing book apps for iPads in libraries, including what book apps are, why librarians should care about them, and various features they provide like visual and audio elements, social interaction, and new ways to browse and search. It also covers issues like the digital divide, examples of book apps, and resources for librarians to learn more about book apps and their potential role in libraries.

Academic e-reading: themes from user experience studies
The document summarizes key themes from a user experience study on academic e-reading. It found that convenience is important to students, as they prefer familiar systems. However, fragmentation of content across multiple tools and devices hurts the experience. Collaboration and social features are important to support the social aspects of learning. Finally, e-books need to better take advantage of the digital medium, such as improved annotation tools, zooming of images, and integration with other tools and platforms to reduce fragmentation. The document discusses how e-books could address these themes to better meet student and researcher needs.
The document summarizes findings from a pilot project integrating iPads into learning, teaching, and assessment at Leeds University Business School. Key findings included that effective iPad use requires support and training, and that it increased student engagement both in and outside of class. Moving forward, the school plans to provide all students in the MSc International Business program with iPads starting in September and support their use through training, app guides, and dedicated support sessions.
Reinventing information literacy instruction through experimentation and play
The document discusses reinventing information literacy instruction through experimentation and play. It summarizes that traditional library instruction was seen as scary and stern, but that cultural changes in libraries and information needs have led to more expansive and engaging forms of instruction. New approaches discussed include gaming elements, interactive online videos and social media, collaboration with faculty, and fun events to promote engagement and a positive library experience. Evaluation of these new approaches has been positive based on student feedback.
Wikis and blogs can provide an environment for collaboration and sharing of information without physical walls. They allow teachers to create websites to share resources, students to access learning materials anywhere at any time, and administrators to communicate and store information for staff and parents. Wikis and blogs give students and teachers the freedom to develop websites cheaply and easily to support teaching and learning.
This document discusses practical uses of Web 2.0 tools in libraries and organizations. It emphasizes that Web 2.0 is about adopting a mindset of user activity and freeing up time rather than just using specific tools. It provides examples of how libraries can use blogs, Flickr, Delicious, RSS, wikis, Google Docs, Twitter, and other tools to communicate, share resources, and engage users. The document concludes that libraries should blend different Web 2.0 tools together and take control of their online presence rather than remaining loyal to any single tool.
A practical overview of potential uses for Web2.0 in library services.
Delivered by Phil Bradley, Freelance Librarian and Internet Consultant.
Part of Enterprise, engagement and new communication: Web2.0 in the library, which was organised by CILIP in Scotland (CILIPS) and took place 2 Jul 2009.
The document discusses content curation for learning. It notes the massive growth of online content like photos, videos, and emails. Effective content curation tools can help learners stay up-to-date by providing curated information that is relevant, trustworthy, and timely. Popular curation tools mentioned include Pinterest, Scoopit, LiveBinders, and Evernote.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdf
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

This document discusses transitioning a traditional school library to a dynamic learning commons. It outlines why the transition is needed to better support student and faculty needs in the digital age. Key aspects of the transition include going bookless, providing curated learning resources, and transforming the space into an active learning environment instead of a quiet study space. The transition process at one school took place from 2007 to 2011 and involved changes to staffing, technology, space design, and priorities to make the library a more collaborative and student-centered learning commons.
Web 2 and mobile tools for learning and researchtbirdcymru
The document discusses various web 2.0 and mobile tools that can be used for learning and research, including tools for networking, organizing references, collecting and curating research materials, collaborative writing, and disseminating work. It provides information on social networks, reference managers, online notebooks, blogs, and academic profiling platforms and encourages researchers to start using some of these tools.
The document discusses predictions for libraries in 2020. It describes how library spaces may evolve from places for quiet study to active learning hubs. It also explores how print collections may decrease as electronic resources grow, though reliability and access issues remain. The role of librarians is envisioned to shift from stamping books to providing expertise through embedded roles and research support. The future library catalog is predicted to involve more collaborative cataloging and value-added features rather than exhaustive records.
The document discusses alternative careers for librarians and information professionals. It outlines various career paths outside of traditional librarian roles that still utilize important skills, including working in different sectors, jobs, or industries. Examples are given such as technology roles, research, communications, and more. The document provides advice on exploring alternative careers, including skills audits, networking, tailoring applications, and believing in one's abilities to find new opportunities.

Academic e-reading: themes from user experience studiesNicole Hennig
The document summarizes key themes from a user experience study on academic e-reading. It found that convenience is important to students, as they prefer familiar systems. However, fragmentation of content across multiple tools and devices hurts the experience. Collaboration and social features are important to support the social aspects of learning. Finally, e-books need to better take advantage of the digital medium, such as improved annotation tools, zooming of images, and integration with other tools and platforms to reduce fragmentation. The document discusses how e-books could address these themes to better meet student and researcher needs.
The document summarizes findings from a pilot project integrating iPads into learning, teaching, and assessment at Leeds University Business School. Key findings included that effective iPad use requires support and training, and that it increased student engagement both in and outside of class. Moving forward, the school plans to provide all students in the MSc International Business program with iPads starting in September and support their use through training, app guides, and dedicated support sessions.
Reinventing information literacy instruction through experimentation and playSophie McDonald
The document discusses reinventing information literacy instruction through experimentation and play. It summarizes that traditional library instruction was seen as scary and stern, but that cultural changes in libraries and information needs have led to more expansive and engaging forms of instruction. New approaches discussed include gaming elements, interactive online videos and social media, collaboration with faculty, and fun events to promote engagement and a positive library experience. Evaluation of these new approaches has been positive based on student feedback.
Wikis and blogs can provide an environment for collaboration and sharing of information without physical walls. They allow teachers to create websites to share resources, students to access learning materials anywhere at any time, and administrators to communicate and store information for staff and parents. Wikis and blogs give students and teachers the freedom to develop websites cheaply and easily to support teaching and learning.
This document discusses practical uses of Web 2.0 tools in libraries and organizations. It emphasizes that Web 2.0 is about adopting a mindset of user activity and freeing up time rather than just using specific tools. It provides examples of how libraries can use blogs, Flickr, Delicious, RSS, wikis, Google Docs, Twitter, and other tools to communicate, share resources, and engage users. The document concludes that libraries should blend different Web 2.0 tools together and take control of their online presence rather than remaining loyal to any single tool.
A practical overview of potential uses for Web2.0 in library services.
Delivered by Phil Bradley, Freelance Librarian and Internet Consultant.
Part of Enterprise, engagement and new communication: Web2.0 in the library, which was organised by CILIP in Scotland (CILIPS) and took place 2 Jul 2009.
The document discusses content curation for learning. It notes the massive growth of online content like photos, videos, and emails. Effective content curation tools can help learners stay up-to-date by providing curated information that is relevant, trustworthy, and timely. Popular curation tools mentioned include Pinterest, Scoopit, LiveBinders, and Evernote. Developing skills like curiosity, media literacy, and information evaluation are important for content curation. Visual tools like Pearl Trees and Pinterest allow users to organize and share curated content.
Pinterest is a visual bookmarking tool that allows users to curate content by creating virtual cork boards called boards and pinning images, links and videos to the boards to organize around topics. Members can like and re-pin pins from other members and search for new pins to add to their boards from Pinterest. Teachers can use Pinterest for lesson planning, collecting resources for student projects and collaborating with other teachers.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdfJackieSparrow3
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

We provide this expertise and training free to MPS and other districts who collaborate with us. The district provides the incentives/credit….
In MILI we focus on the first three of these
There are few situations or jobs that do not require information and the ability to apply it.Translitercy is a term that has come into vogue lately—encompasses all types of
Let’s set the stage
Old web to new web---more dynamic, more interactive, very wide and very deep (long tail),
What changes have we seen in school—and how quickly and well integrated?What was our technology—pencils? Fountain pens? Carbon paper? Mimeograph machines? Slide rules?Classroom was the world—what happened in the classroom stayed in the classroom (unless the teacher called your mom about discipline)Often the first “out of family” experience for kids
You can play on the computer when your work is done--Oregon Trail!Technology as an end in itselfFocus on programs—Word, PPT, ExcelPhotocopiers
Easier to question authority and support questions with informationOnline content online delivery online creation online sharingiMovie, GarageBand—sophisticated creativity tools in almost everyone’s handsPost your creations on the Internet—a global authentic audience willing and able to tell you what they thinkParents are well-connected, too
AuthenticaudienceLearning everywhere
Typewriters in the 30sTelephones!Readers Guide since about 1901Gentile, refined places—although not really because Carnegie libraries were founded for the “working class”
Librarians teaching Dewey and using card catalog—subject headingsResources in school or college or public libraryEarly adopters of technology for things like ILL and cataloging and organizing & retrieving information
Same characteristics as classroom 2.0 access and learning everywhereCollaboration and cooperation in information creation and information deliveryLibrarians are needed now more than ever to help users navigate the vastness of information availableGoogle replaced ready reference—when, who, where—but librarians needed to guide users to the whys and hows of finding and using information 7 letter word for umbrella=parasol. Who was in 1932 world series=Yankees & Cubs
Still learning the power of personal devices in schools and librariesByod programs—iPads, iPods, iPhones, smartphones, tablets really allow learning everywhereWe need to direct that learningBut we know the power ofiPads in creating personal learning environments that allow teachers, students, families to create a personalized curriculum/experience for every child Heavy use in special ed for communication, learning…
Flipped classrooms expand our reach—more time to deliver content, more time to differentiate lessons and learning, more time for hands-onMILI using the flipped model for 5 or so years—webinar, f2f, hands on, support via chat/email and other methods.
Content is very broad—phone videos, blogs, yelp reviews along with the more formal traditional types of content creation
And therefore—limit their lifelong ability to question, evaluate, and use information in any form
Email, Google Drive (docs), Facebook, Twitter, SmartphonesConnected 24/7It is not “bad”—learn to use the tools to enhance your life
Yelp, Zagat other review sitesFlickr, Picasa, photo sitesBlogger, WordpressE-democracySupplying the framework for users to input the content—they are not creating the content
iPads—eg larger presonal devicesBYOD model—often phonesCloud spaces for collaboration—Google Drive (aka Docs), Moodle, otherMany games develop the skills we want to teach—problem-solving, collaboration, economics, creativity, higher order thinking skillsPersonal learning environmentsways to support self-directed and group- based learning, designed around each user’s goals, with great capacity for flexibility and customization. PLEs are conceived as drawing on a variety of discrete tools, often chosen by the learner, which can be connected or used in concert in a transparent way. Using a growing set of free and simple tools and applications, such as a collection of apps on a table
No longer can we be expected to remain unchallenged in what we say—we can be contradicted and corrected easily Gaming culture, parenting styles, level of independenceUse pf Facebook and other social tools not translating into using Web 2.0 tools in research and productivity—there is still the mindset that computers are for “play”—they need to be taught how to use the tools for organizing their research and displaying their conclusions and products
In the 4 or so years before they get to you
And what do parents expect? Traditional teaching? Hybrid? Tech-based?
We can debate whether or not this is “good” but that doesn’t change reality—they want to be digital learnersHow do we teach what students need to know in this new interactive environment.Do they need to memorize facts when they can just do a quick Google search? Or do they need to know what those facts mean in context of history, geography, math…
Wi-fi enabled devices—iPads, phones, netbooks—and ubiquitous free wifi at public and academic libraries not to mention at public libraries and commercial spaces McDonalds, Starbucks, Panera and the various Minneapolis hot spots=learning everywhere in almost any space
Some estimates say that by 2014 more than 22 million post-secondary students will take courses online—double the number today. Only about ¼ of total students will take all classes F2FIn Minnesota, by 2014 all teachers must be prepared to teach online courses, hybrid courses…

Standards that address 21st century skills and information literacy. Summaries of the standards are handouts
Even though they are starting at a young age using technology—most 3 yr olds are not writing longform blog posts. A lot of that activity is monkey see, monkey do. If you sat around gazing at a Speak n Spell or that animal sounds toy, they would want to do that, too. Still parents are using these tools to engage & entertain their children. But tha play doesn’t translate into being an expert in anything beyond the mechanics of swiping or pinching…But we do know that older students do use technology—a lot
We know a lot about how students seek information from various research studies. Recent study of Illinois college students showed that 75% of students could not perform a “well-executed” Google search.College Libraries and Student Culture: What We Now Know5 colleges
A lot of info here on how college students do research for class and for every day life. Does show that students struggle with research in college—you can help prepare themPulling out two tables related to MILI content
eight in 10 of the 8,353 respondents reported having overwhelming difficulty even starting research assignments and determining the nature and scope of what was expected of them.Nearly half of the students in our survey sample experienced nagging uncertainty about how to conclude and assess the quality of their research efforts. They struggled with the same frustrating open-endedness whether they were researching something for a college course or in their personal lives.
The data counter the argument that most college students aredigital natives and that the majority of them are comfortable with technology to the point ofembracing participatory engaging learning environments.The finding suggests even though students may be heavy users of social networking sites, suchas Facebook, Web 2.0 applications for course research have not yet found their way intostudentsʼ research repertoire—yet. Recent research suggests that this trend is very likely tochange within the next few years as students demand for digital course work and time-shiftedinstruction inevitably increase.3030
All the standards, all the skills, all the pieces are focused on the students—defining and teaching the skills they need to succeed now and the future.
There is a lot of noise, a lot to learn, A lot of noise and a lot of competition
To learn, to share, to try, to play—so you can really understand the concepts and toolsIt is a commit, but one we know pays off
To make MILI most effective for the most people
The class is based on these expectations and assumptions
A project where the student answers a question that emphasizes higher order thinking and they they answer with research using resources from reliable sources and document/present their results/answer. What would happen if… What are the causes of…. What is the best pet for my family…What changes….THIS IS CRITICAL—WE FOCUS ON THE RESEARCH PROCESS. THE TOOLS & CONCEPTS—AND THE ORDER OF THIS COURSE—FOLLOW A PLAN THAT STARTS WITH RESEARCH.
Download and remove apps, home button, put in folders, find apps that matter, copy & paste, watch flash, use a browser….
We are not here to convince you to use the tools. You are here because you want more information & experience around the concepts & tools.
Great to have a new tool, but we aren’t about the tool itself—we want to help you use it wisely and productively for yourself and your classroom. The concepts in the research process are valid without the iPad or any computer. Many tools work on iPads and other computers.
As they conduct their research. Librarians are your friends--And you collaborate with the school librarian/media specialist in teaching research skills, identifying resources, teaching responsible use.
Which opens a world of information and resources. Encourage students get a card.
If you watch the archived webinar, do it before the in-person meeting.
On the Ning (teachers lounge) Through your blog posts, two longform blog posts that demonstrate original thinking, application of concepts, real life experience with tools, or other in-depth reflection on MILI, teaching, best practices, technology. This is how your progress is tracked.
Each month a different question to spark conversation around a topic.
Help identify tools for the purpose—sort out the old tools, those that don’t work, keep up with the changes
