KEYNOTE – Guided Inquiry – Why Now?
Global interconnectedness enabled by information technology calls for new skills, new knowledge, and new ways of learning to prepare students with abilities and competencies that rise to meet the challenges of an uncertain, changing environment. Some people thought an internet connection in the classroom was all that was needed to transform a 20th-century school into a 21st-century learning space. If it were only that simple. In her keynote, Leslie will inspire you to think about what we need to prepare our students today for living and working in a complex learning environment. One critical thing we need, are librarians!
