HTML21st Century Learning ... the teacher librarian and the school library

16 August 2010Since blogED was provisioned by the NSW Department of Education and Training in March 2010 more than 800 schools have jumped onboard.

School libraries play a significant role in building capacity for student learning in the 21st century. In several articles over the past year Lyn Hay, Colleen Foley, Cath Keane and Ross J. Todd have written comprehensively in the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) journal Scan about the changing focus of the library, often called an ‘information or resource centre’ in NSW and US schools. This article describe the work of one teacher-librarian and an early career teacher who ‘teamed up’ in the trial period of blogED to deliver some challenging technology-based English lessons to students at a south-western Sydney secondary school.
