How can school librarians “bridge the gap” by
connecting the informal learning occurring in the
participatory culture to formal educational
experiences?

Participate with teachers to help students learn needed
skills to “read, write, and interact across a range of
platforms, tools and media.”

Do collaborative projects have to be like James Gee’s
“The Big G Game” which includes everything but the
kitchen sink, making you feel like you are pushing a
boulder uphill?
17. Going beyond information found in
sources
1. Do you want to have the students make
connections among topics they have already
studied or something that is important or
relevant to them in their lives today?
2. Ooooooh—I wonder if the kids will just cut
and paste information they find in sources?
How do you want (or do you) the students to
go beyond the information they find?
21. My involvement
• Planned with teacher
• Assembled wiki
• Decided on sources with teacher
• Taught steps of Big6 information literacy process and
– Created worksheet for narrowing topic and developing
questions
– Taught how to search, cite sources, & take notes and
working with students as they practiced these skills
• Developed the History Channel idea
• Assessed note cards and citations (OMG!)

27. “How do we ensure that every child has access to the skills
and experiences needed to become a full participant in the
social, cultural, economic, and political future of our society?”

Self assessment
32. Lead with conversations
What questions will you need to ask yourself? What
questions will you need to ask your teaching
partner?
Table collaboration: Develop questions for which
you can raise the bar in designing learning
experiences that will help students build
knowledge, require rigor of thought, and develop
essential skills needed to read, write, and interact in
the participatory culture.
Add your questions to the AASL Fall Forum Ning.
33. Learning design
Table collaboration: Choose a topic or set of
curriculum objectives that you want to develop
into a rigorous and meaningful learning
experience for students. Use your questions to
guide the design of a dynamic experience for
students.
Add your table’s work to the AASL Ning.
Editor's Notes
Traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis
The ability to access, evaluate, and use information in a variety of formats.
Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement. The new literacies almost all involve social skills
developed through collaboration and networking. These skills build on the foundation of traditional skills taught in the classroom. Play — the capacity to experiment with one’s surroundings as a form of problem-solving
While the graphic represents each element distinctly for descriptive purposes, the Partnership views all the components as fully interconnected in the process of 21st century teaching and learning.
Adds digital, visual, textual, and technological literacies to information literacy, recognizing that students should be able to access, evaluate and use information in all formats as well as communicate, collaborate, create, and share information and knowledge.
School librarians are ready to move students to the next step. We know the power in the read/write web and non-text based formats as well as the place of traditional formats. But...
It is not about the technology, But, Accessing and using new media sites and tools such as blogs, social bookmarking, social networks, shared documents (i.e., Google Docs), video and photo sharing, and wikis affords students opportunities for reading, writing, and navigating among a variety of formats, while knowledge building in their subject areas, thinking critically thinking and developing creative ideas and products, while providing unique occasions for students to collaborate and share—which are all valuable 21st century skills.
Collaborate with teachers
Identify content, skills, and tools needed for specific project
Integrate new media tools, resources and skills meaningfully and deliberately into the project
Collective Intelligence — the ability to pool knowledge and compare notes with others toward a common goal
Multitasking — the ability to scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed to salient details
Distributed Cognition — the ability to interact meaningfully with tools that expand mental capacities—database, NoodleTools
Judgment — the ability to evaluate the reliability and credibility of different information sources
Transmedia Navigation — the ability to follow the flow of stories and information across multiple modalities
