Indeed, a teacher-librarian I interviewed recently called it 'an approach to life' (Lupton manuscript). Thus, inquiry learning as a pedagogy and curriculum design involves:
1) questioning frameworks
2) information literacy / information seeking processes
3) an action research cycle

As I read through the social media networks, the concept of information overload is continually being discussed.... I have re-framed information overload from being discussed as a cautionary consequence of the technology age to us living in a time of information abundance. Via Anne Whaits, João Greno Brogueira

How do librarians adapt the way we approach what we do when we come from a tradition of information scarcity to an information age when information abundance is the new norm?

I've become more than a little obsessed with adding social learning to the educational offer for adults. This post is a timely reminder that more fundamental changs are required, where educators are no longer the gatekeepers to information, open access to the internet is more important than expensive text books and information and digital literacies need to be embedded across the curriculum.
As a bonus, right at the end there is a great Pezi on Personal Learning Networks or Students. Brilliant :) Delete the scoop?

Nowadays many pupils, when given a research task, immediately might think to themselves, “I’ll just Google that.” Internet search engines are powerful tools but many pupils use only a fraction of the power of them, and then can also have difficulty finding the information specific to the task. There are many resources now available to help in developing pupil skills in searching more effectively using online search engines. Via Eric Stockmeyer @stockmeyer1 Delete the scoop?
