The New School

The most relevant idea from the reading (they were all quite relevant) is the focus on the nuances of the 21st Century Learner. As I skimmed through the list of new AASL Standards and the portion about "Owning Our Curriculum," I began to realize that the change that is needed in the current educational system must come from within. In the article, "Technology Skills Every Student Needs," Johnson very accurately states that those of us (teacher/librarians) who can, must step up and once again learn how to master the world of information around us, simplify it, and pass it on to our students and colleagues.
