Slide 1

Here we have an example of an online text book that can be accessed via the Netbooks
Slide 2
Slide 3

Students can learn through levelled online reading resources, such as Ziptales.
Slide 4

Amazon Kindle for PC

Here is an example of using the Netbook as an ereader.

Slide 5

Eeerotate for PC – turn netbook into

ereader

http://lifehacker.com/5249179/eeerotate-orients-your-laptop-screen-for-easy-reading

EeeRotate is a free software program that can be used to rotate pages to make Netbook reading
more like other ereaders.
Slide 6

3. Using video as a teaching tool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtB6_D_toVQ&fe
ature=player_embedded

Play first few minutes of this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtB6_D_toVQ&feature=player_embedded This is an
example of how video can be used as a teaching tool. Guerilla Bill can teach how to use
Photostory in 6 minutes and students can use such resources for just-in-time learning.
Slide 7

Creating online learning

resources

Captivate (not free) tutorials-

also (free) jing or wink
Doing library lessons differently

Similarly, Libraries can create their own learning tutorials. Teacher Librarians provide many
lessons such as referencing and how to use the OPAC, over and over, so learning tutorials
provide another and possibly more effective way of delivering such lessons. Tools like Captivate,
Jing and Wink can be used to create video tutorials for teacher and student use.
Slide 8

This slide shows students learning how to use databases at the State Library. Their Netbooks
accessed the State Library wireless connection and students can learn by hands-on
participation.
Slide 9

Hands-on is more effective learning

Slide 10

Access to resources anywhere. Here is the School Moodle site and access point for the Library
websites .
Slide 11

These slides show how teachers can provide an online classroom, where lesson resources can
be provided for student use in class, after class to revise later, and to support students who are
absent. This is the home view.
Slide 12

Saving lesson planning online is useful for reflection for teachers and students.
Slide 13

Here is an example of using Moodle to support plagiarism and referencing objectives. Turnitin
can be integrated into Moodle so there is no need for any additional passwords. This is much
easier for both teachers and students
Slide 14

Personal devices mean that resources like online assessment planners are more easily
accessible for both parents, teachers and students.
Slide 15

This shows how the Library is providing instructions to support independent use of technology
via the Library Moodle site. Again these resources can help utilise teacher-librarian time more
effectively.
Slide 16

Here is an example of using Moodle for questionnaires which support evidence based practice.
Slide 17

Using moodle for sharing book reviews

This is an example of using Moodle to support reading. Students can write book reviews, read
book reviews from other students and comment on them, via the Library Moodle site. The book
review is accessed by clicking the book cover.
Slide 18

Using moodle for sharing book reviews

Example of book review. Others can respond to the review by adding comments. The teacher
can set up the database so that any information needs teacher approval before being published.
Slide 19

Here is an example of using OneNote. OneNote has many wonderful features to support
learning. The clip function provides the reference automatically from the internet. Onenote can
also integrate video and audio as well as images.
Slide 20

Questions ???

Question Time - Please ask questions of myself or the students- Sarah and Emma
Slide 21

4. Participatory Projects
1. Monologue- Audacity example
2. War video – Moviemaker, dramatic rendition
3. Photostory – voice recording over story-primary
4. Home and Away – Book trailer –Moviemaker
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmLRFN4HPqQ

With access and connectivity, assessment

is not the end of the process

Participatory projects- did not have time for this, as expected.

Slide 22

are-not-waiting-for-superman-
we-are-empowering-
superheroes/
If we continue to limit our
thinking about education to
28 students,1 teacher,1500
square feet between the
hours of 8 to 3, we are
condemning today’s fourth
graders to exactly the same
educational experience that
I got in 1976, that my father
got in 1946, and that his
father got in 1916. Diana

We need new classroom approaches- quote from “We are Not Waiting for Superman.”
Slide 23

Are TLS IT teachers?

•Rewind- Teacher librarians need to
become the Chief Information Officer at
their school – said by Michael Hough SLAQIASL2010
•Remember, information is increasingly
online, in addition to traditional sources
•Resourcing information needs is about
both WHAT and HOW eg Web 2.0 tools, Barbara
Combes – break it up- into steps and stages
•Build a bridge !!!

One question that might arise is the delineation between teacher-librarianship, IT teaching and
IT support. Teacher Librarians need to find models that suit their own learning context. They
need to resource both the “what’ and the “how” of the curriculum.
Slide 24

Not the End

Move from industrial learning forced feeding model
to creative, innovative, learner centred models for
students and teachers
Online elearning- creating learning
objects/experiences/modules
Need one to one devices that are
– Personal
– Portable ( not just mobile- wifi anywhere)
– Multifunction (not just an ereader) - and Participatory

So one to one personal learning devices provide the potential to move from industrial learning
structures to more personal, creative, learner centred models. There are opportunities to
further explore the opportunities of elearning.
But to do this, students need access and connectivity. They need devices that are personal,
portable and multifunction.
Slide 25

Homework
• My paper has a lot of research on the theory
underlying these ideas- see the SLAQIASL2010
conference CD

• http://www.slideshare.net/PewInternet/infor
mation-consumption-2010-portable-
participatory-and-personal

So in finishing, please refer to my paper on the Conference CD for more research on one to one
pedagogy. There is also a slideshare link here that may be of interest

and-personal
Slide 26

Take charge

So there is a big opportunity for teacher librarians to “take charge” of learning. Here is how we
deal with charging of batteries. Students are supposed to charge their batteries at home, but we
also have a swap and go battery program. The girls will demonstrate how easily, the battery is
removed. As in the conference paper, it has been shown that teachers will integrate technology
more readily if they receive effective technology support, including support such as charging of
student batteries. So just like the Netbooks, there is a need for teacher-librarians to be charged
for the challenges of elearning.
