with an iAttitude

Maryland Association for School Librarians State Conference Ocean City , Maryland Friday, October 21, 2011

A digital native is a person for whom digital technologies already existed when they were born, and hence has grown up with digital

technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3s.

What Digital Natives

Want From Their

Library

A digital immigrant is an individual who grew up without digital technology

and adopted it later.

“iGeners are growing up with portable technology. Literally from birth, these children are able to grow up using mobile technology,” he said. “But I also look at the little ‘i’ as reflecting the individualized culture—reflecting our needs and desires.”

Via Urban Dictionary

iLibrarians wield unfathomable power, bring order to digital content chaos, 21stcentury wisdom and culture to the masses, facilitate and cultivate collaboration and innovation, serve as a catalyst to move users from consumers to producers, protect and preserve all aspects of human knowledge and rule the information universe.

What is Curation?

“…It’s about adding quality back into the equation and putting a human filter between you and the overwhelming world of content abundance that is swirling around us every day. Curation replaces noise with clarity.”

Hamilton, Buffy. "Summer Seed Ideas:Curation, Participation, and Student PLEs." Web log post. The Unquiet Librarian. Web. 19 June 2011. <http://theunquietlibrarian.wordpress.com/>.

Steven Rosenbaum, author Curation Nation

“…a curator is the keeper of their interest …By discovering, organizing, and sharing relevant content from around the Web, curators invest in the integrity and vibrancy of their nicheworks.

Brian Solis says that in social media…

Social bookmarking

is used to share,

organize, search,

and manage bookmarks of

web resources.

We must educate the students we have, not the student we used to have, nor the student we wished we had. We must adapt to today's student, not them adapting to us. We must adapt to their world of today's 21st century technology. We cannot teach like we've taught forever anymore. We must change ourselves to adapt to their world.They are hyper-communicators and must "power down" just to go to school.

"out of the box"

thinking when we only
