Horizon Report
The implications for 2013 is that we have to begin to make
the shift towards mobile device education. This means a huge shift in budget
administration and pedagogy. A school needs qualified and passionate leaders to
lead this change successfully. It’s a bit like stepping off a cliff into space
because technology is changing so quickly we don’t know where it will take us
or what’s coming next.
What the students need to learn has now changed. Facts are
not what is important anymore. What’s important is that students know where to
locate and efficiently select the information they need. In Denmark (I think)
students are sent home with tests that they can complete using the resources of
the internet. This type of shift has huge implications for our teaching content
and our current methods of assessment, not to mention national testing
programs.
The teacher librarian’s responsibility to teach information
skills is now more important than ever when we look at the intricacies of defining
a topic and the issue of website evaluation skills. These abilities cut across
all curriculum areas.
