SLJ Summit: Notes on Trust and School Library 2.0

There’s coverage of the SLJ Summit in this month’s School Library Journal: Building trust means dispelling other educators’ fears over their students’ use of Web 2.0—the second generation of Internet-based services, such as social networking sites and wikis, which emphasize collaboration and sharing among users. The learning potential of these technologies should outweigh any fears of abuse, the attendees seemed to be saying. Building trust also involves educating stakeholders and the learning community about the learning opportunities that new technologies offer. Finally, “trust” implies trusting students to use social networking sites like MySpace and Friendster appropriately—while still expecting adult oversight. […]

SLJ Summit Podcast: Panelists Discuss SL2

At the end of the day Friday, David Warlick recorded a podcast discussion with the panelists. Take a listen to hear some thoughts about the read/Write School Media Center. http://m2.slapcast.com/mp3/dwarlick/dwarlick-2006-11-03.mp3 I was impressed at how easy and fluid this was” David had a mic for his iPod, we went round robin and each person responded to questions or comments from the other folks.

SLJ Summit: David Warlick on Diane Chen

http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/2006/11/03/this-is-a-library-maven/ This is a pretty bold person.

There are never enough lesson plans, so she is able to cover things that she’s been trying accomplish.

SLJ Summit: David Warlick in the School Library 2.0 Group

(I’m a fanboy!) http://davidwarlick.com/sljsummit/slj_summit.ppt.htm David’s son at college: still carrying on text conversations. It’s not the machine, it’s the information he’s engaged in. Kids are talking, working toward a goal, collaborating and then they come in our schools and WE CUT THEM OFF. Kids think everything should be clickable. What does a clickable library look like? Showed a video his son made. How did he learn to do that? David didn’t teach him. His teachers didn’t teach him. He taught himself. Kids use an IM language all their own. We didn’t teach them, the collaborated to make it on their […]

SLJ Summit: Learning & Libraries in the Digital AgeThe im

Dr. David Cavallo, MIT Media Lab http://www.laptop.org/ What should education be when any information is just a few mouse clicks away. He showed a picture he found by “googling ‘boring school’” of some students in class looking tired: Kids would rather be challenged than bored. (He asked how many folks were blogging live…I think it’s just me!) Cavallo disscusses the development of the $100 laptop. What we need is a lowcost computer for education, and because the computer industry ignored their pleas, they decided to build one themselves. The laptop features these technical innovations: LCD Technology Mesh networking Powermanagement Manual […]

Thank you for the reading list, as it has been very helpful. With question #2 dealing with […]
