DESCRIPTION
Web 2.0 provides ways to filter, streamline, organise, share, distribute or gather information from the burgeoning information jungle. With the power of 2.0 the information revolution can be tamed. Teachers can learn new ways to incorporate search strategies into their personal information-seeking toolkits and then work with students to weave deeper understandings of how to find information right into the fabric of their learning. In a learning environment where writing, reflecting, creating and collaborating are driving authentic engagement with content, searching and researching has to encompass multi-literacies and information fluency in the process. It’s time to challenge the old standards of ‘search’. With all our experience as teachers, we are novices in the information revolution. It’s not a one-size-fits-all environment, and the myriad of choices, tools and techniques we could customise for our professional purposes need explanation and elaboration to understand how to be a confident, efficient and effective news and knowledge curators. This session will show how connecting, collaborating and networking are dependent on knowledge filters and information search techniques that allow teachers to become extraordinary information architects in charge of their own knowledge work, ready to mentor and support the learning of their students.

Mobile “always connected” devices are the doorways to
the content and social tapestries of the Internet. The vast potential for learning. They embody the convergence of technology and support !exible access to multiple sources of content.
Cloud computing is saving schools money and resources. It has opened
doors for more !exibility, more space, more collaboration, and ultimately, more creative uses of Internet resources for educators to incorporate in their classrooms.

and in challenging
students to apply their

Rich choices need explanation
There is a large opportunity cost for schools whose teachers are not fully aware and fully equipped searchers
and managers of information.
Does anyone know of any good online videos showing beginner debating, suitable for Year 7 students? I'm thinking of Youtube, Teachertube etc.

rapidly navigate information pathways to construct
knowledge
While the web can provide excellent sources of information, the amount of relevant information found on the web depends on the quality of searching, the sources used (not just search
engines) and the time available for searching.

•ask good questions in order to get good answers
• access and acquire material from the appropriate digital
information sources
• analyze the raw material to distinguish value, bias, and
re-usable information
• apply the knowledge within a real-world problem or
simulation
• and assess the process and the product.

..... because your knowledge and my
knowledge, based on what search
results we are served, may be very
different from each other.Siva Vaidhyanathan in The Googlization of Everything,
New developments in search, such as Google
instant (that shows results as you type) have
both enhanced & hindered the information
seeking habits of students by responding quickly
to search terms, and so making keyword
customization seem less relevant.

We have a new information
environment that is demanding more
extensive information literacy capabilities.

The Ethnographic Research in Illinois Academic Libraries (ERIAL) Project, a two-year study of the student research process involving five US universities, included extensive interviews with students, librarians and other academics in an effort to better understand 21st Century student research habits.
“The students surveyed often looked in
journals or databases unsuited to their field of
study and displayed a poor understanding of
how to refine search results”.
“While the interface of Google and other similar search engines might
be more intuitive, what’s going on behind the scenes isn’t intuitive at all,
and very few students had a clear conception of how search engines
work. This lack of understanding compounds the problem of building an
effective search strategy.”
By showing our students how to connect a
database information repository (such as
EBSCO, Gale, or JStor) or a local library
service with Google Scholar, we are helping
students broaden the scope of their information
seeking, while at the same time refining the
quality of the information response.

When a technology focus subverts students’
conversation and development of critical
thinking skills (and their ability to evaluate and
analyse the information at hand), the mental
processes that change knowledge from
information to concept are not learned.
