I'm generally a bit reticent about the idea of completely replacing teachers with machinery, but there are still teachers here, setting up the machines. Of course, they aren't being just replaced by machines in this model: the machines are just the repositories of information, like books are in traditional schools. The teachers are really being replaced by the groups of students helping each other learn.

Great article on Sugata Mitra - the educator who put the computer in the wall in Calcutta.

Libraries have the potential to significantly enhance the development of life-long learners through excellent provision of expertise, resources and spaces. There are some great NZ examples referred to in this post.

There are challenges for school libraries in balancing these spaces, particularly collection space. Once the overriding priority, have we gone too far in rationalising physical collection space and thus risked devaluing what is part of a library's unique value? Of course making virtual collections visible in our space is also important.
