It is great to see VR and AR being used in schools, even in regional Queensland. On my placement, the school had quality headsets that were used by the digital technologies subjects. It would be great to see these being used in other subjects throughout the school. In the business classroom, students could virtually be behind the doors of world-re-known businesses. They could see the world's most famous restaurants at peak times and perfect their skills with customers in a virtual and augmented environment. 
Trent Samuel's curator insight, May 8, 2020 12:43 AM
This page clearly shows how digital learning in schools are continuing to improve and get to levels i would have never expected to see. This website is about the use of VR and AR being used in schools. Throughout my placements I haven't yet seen this type of digital technologies implemented in schools but would be great to see and use as part of a HPE unit. The possibilities are endless for students involved in a sporting unit using this technology. 


Corey Redsell's curator insight, May 10, 2020 2:50 AM
Interesting view on how different technology can shape the future of education. The video highlighted how AR has been used with medical students practicing procedures to gain experience. I agree with Kayla as I believe both AR and VR can play a crucial role in connecting content to real world situations.

Tomorrow’s world: A visual guide to the next 150 years | Digital Collaboration and the 21st C. | Scoop.it

As we begin a new year, BBC Future has compiled 40 intriguing predictions made by scientists, politicians, journalists, bloggers and other assorted pundits in recent years about the shape of the world from 2013 to 2150.

 

They range from the serious to the fanciful, from the exciting to the petrifying.

And to get a gauge on how likely they are to happen, we asked the special bets department at British betting firm Ladbrokes to give us their odds on each prediction coming true.

How many of these will come true,,,ha...ha I remember some of the great predictions in the past that never made it, whilst the unpredicted did. Anyone remember the "atomic" egg that would fit in a box to power all your household power needs? Anyone remember all the free time we were going to have to manage because robots and AI would be doing all the work?

It has been amazing seeing the different ways businesses have adapted and changed since being faced with the Covid-19 pandemic. My favourite cafes in particular have been very inventive and quick to the mark to flip their business plan to make it work for their business, their staff and their customers. I have been making more of an effort to support local businesses and have been delighted with what I have found in my neighbourhood.

DIKW: Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom: Librarians and their skill set

DIKW: Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom: Librarians and their skill set | Digital Collaboration and the 21st C. | Scoop.it

Inna K(o)uper:

CLIR blog has recently posted a piece on re-skilling for librarians by Christa Williford, focusing on digital humanities librarianship. What kind of skills do librarians need in order to be relevant in contemporary research environments? The list can be pretty long, moreover, there might be multiple lists.

Another list was proposed in a report that Christa mentioned, “Re-skilling for research” by Research Libraries UK (RLUK). The report contains results of a series of studies that aimed to map the needs of researchers onto tasks to be undertaken by subject librarians.

The report is long, but the message is the same over and over: librarians’ roles and skills are quite limited and traditional; they do not match the needs. Subject librarians are not involved at the early stages of research that involve conceptualization and planning. Most of the services are still offered in the areas of literature search and information management (how to store and organize everything). Services that are related to data collection, management, analysis and preservation are in their infancy at best.
