We’ve certainly come a long way but some things seem hauntingly similar to many years ago. For example, Thomas Edison said in 1925 that “books will soon be obsolete in schools. Scholars will soon be instructed through the eye.” I’m pretty sure this is exactly what people are saying these days about the iPad.

Concise overview of educational technology from 1650 until now. What's new?

Interesting to listen to B.F. Skinner talk about the machine for learning. He talks about the student moving at "his" own pace. This is, no surprise, the differentiated or Mass Customized Learning precursor.

What if we could all send our children to a school in the cloud as Sugata Mitra suggests in a new TED Talk? Would you go? What would it look like? Via Karen Bonanno
Peg Becksvoort's insight:
Is it important to curate content? How is the content on Sugata Mitra's SOLE cloud-based schools managed? True, we do not need to know everything, but we need to have honesty, safety, and truthfulness in our information. Is there a place for school librarians in this curation?

Peg Becksvoort's insight:
Many studies have shown the value of having a full-time school librarian. There is mounting evidence that this is so. The next step is for school librarians to step up the plate with knowledge of what they can do and the self-confidence to do it. Delete the scoop?

Call it brainstorming, concept mapping or mindmapping, collecting and organizing thoughts using web 2.0 is a snap. Let’s take a peek at several free options. Via Karen Bonanno, Rosa Martins, Lourense Das
Peg Becksvoort's insight:
It seems that laying out a graphic organizer for specific topics should be obvious. The resources listed here will get you started. They also present the opportunity for a teacher to draw on their features to have learners create their own mind maps.

At the Elizabeth Forward High School library in Elizabeth, PA, beanbag chairs have replaced study carrels, computers are everywhere, and instead of a cranky librarian telling kids to be quiet, there's a new music studio. Via Nell Ududec, Kent Wallén, Karen Bonanno, Lourense Das

School libraries need to be hip, cool and relevant to the demands of their school communities. Kids love this modern approach and feel welcome in their school library.
