ASLA Standards

http://hoorayforbooks.pbworks.com/f/lms+evaluation+ideas.pdf

This is what the Standards say• http://www.asla.org.au/policy/standards.aspx

What I wanted to bring to the table?

• Should nice librarians just read stories?• What about collaboration?• What about learning outcomes?• Should teachers participate in library?• How should Library/DL link with the

curriculum?• What about IT?• How does this affect timetabling?

• Information Literacy is not just defined as Literacy skills but as a set of skills a person needs to read, write, and to develop the capacities to understand, absorb, assimilate, and digest the images being transmitted electronically with the added capacity to communicate these images electrographically (Ross Tweed & Bailey as cited by Langford, 1994, p. 26).

What does this mean?

What is transliteracy?

• If the transliteracy means to access a variety of media simultaneously, it seems to me that transliteracy also relates to how people use these skills to cope in their daily lives. These skills could be different for many people due to different nationalities, socio economic backgrounds, interests, occupations, ages, interests and needs.

• Why Digital Fluency?Sipling says there are three main forms of assessment: diagnostic, formative and summative. (Stripling, 2007)

It seems the education community generally agrees that information literacy links to life- long learning and this is a good thing. The real challenges seem not the information process itself but how we adapt with technology and how our needs are met real life situations (Eisenberg, 2008, p. 41).

So what can a Librarian do?

Tasks Difficulties for students (FitzGerald, 2011)

The formulation of a question takes a long time

Selection Finding the right informationtargeted to focus

Looking for the right information time consuming

Exploration Taking notes Linked with plagiarismFormulation Synthesising

informationProblems developing arguments, conclusions

Presentation Formulation stage Interest dip at this stage

• Should nice librarians just read stories?

• What about collaboration?

Students benefit from the skills of both teachers, or a team of teachers, incorporating subject knowledge and skills expertise. Expertise is maximized (Kuhlthau & Maniotes, 2010, p. 21).

• What about learning outcomes?

Hay says that there is the implicit assumption that by virtue of actions, outcomes happen, I would have to agree. (Hay, L., and Todd, R., 2010) Must match and measure learning outcomes.

• Should teachers participate in library? One of the main findings from the 1996 Australian National school English literacy survey was “students in schools where Teachers make greater use of the school library with their Classes tend to have higher levels of literacy achievement” ( Dept. of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affair, 1997). There is a lot of evidence to support that teacher Librarians do make a difference

• How should Literacy link with the curriculum? What about IT?DL embedded in Literacy curriculum, planned collaboration into Guided Inquiry

• How does this affect timetabling?Flexible, rotated, collaborative meetings and links with curriculum
