Presentation by David Warlick – very good on technology doesn’t teach you it’s the INFORMATION that the technology provides.

uses a great presentation tool – pezi – http://prezi.com/  – virtual visual presentation is very picture oriented, but engages the group as the presenter talks “about” not reading what is on the screen.

Stop integrating technology integrate LITERACY – teach kids how to teach themselves.

Reading means “Exposing what’s true” – find, valid, appropriate, evaluate information…

  • R – arithmetic – numbers are digital – music, video, etc… – using midi how you don’t necessarially have to know how to play an instrument you can compose music.
  • R- writing – a market skill?  Long Tail – and the information environment – self publishing and self marketing our works that didn’t hit mass market. – lulu.com - self publishing tool that David Warlick has used.

Lietarcy – includes reading, arithmetic, writing.

Now 3 E’s – exposing, employing,  expressing – or that should be 4 Ethical use of informaiton.

What does this mean to libraries? – change peoples notion of what the library is – we are no longer just reading.  Work information, express information, – think Kindos for kids…
