Chat Archive from Session 01:27 chriswherley : i heard recently that this is the new Digital Divide. "What kids do at school vs. what they do at home" 01:28 khokanson-1 : and what kids do that we KNOW about vs what they do that we dont :) 01:28 BenWilkoff : My kids talk about 2 kinds of learning. 01:29 LyricWilberg : 2 Kinds of Learning? 01:29 chriswherley : it just takes 1 instance, to make it a problem. 01:31 khokanson-1 : @chriswherley and that is why discussions about AUP and student safety are SO important 01:32 BenWilkoff : The 2 kinds of learning: School-learning an Real-learning. 01:32 chriswherley : textbooks are safe. They tell us what to do and ultimately when to do it. 01:32 chriswherley : totally agree 01:32 khokanson-1 : I would rather give kids school emails that I could monitor, filter etc...and have them use that for the tools, and block all other emails to stay in compliance 01:33 khokanson-1 : the problem is...these conversations aren't happening 01:33 BenWilkoff : Have a walled garden... but create the garden and tend to it. 01:33 cfoote : @khokanson very true. This session is almost what needs to happen--a giant hash it out session ;) 01:33 cfoote : understand each others' jobs 01:33 cfoote : as librarian, we also have these frustration with IT and they have with us, too, i'm sure ;) 01:34 BenWilkoff : @khokanson This is the start of the conversation... let's continue it elsewhere. 01:34 mrsdurff-1 : that woulfd be a dream if our IT where a)there b)asking what we need 01:34 cfoote : just wrote a post about this--what are five things we should understand about each other. 01:34 cfoote : I borrowed idea from Barbara Jansen, libr. in Austin 01:34 chriswherley : i am trying to work closely with our district librarian. The main problem we have is she is only in HS bldg. We have aides in ES and JH bldgs. 01:35 cfoote : ah, that's difficult @chriswherley 01:35 khokanson-1 : as chris said it takes one instance...why are we waiting for that instance to happen vs putting things in place... 01:35 cfoote : I like how she is talking about putting herself out there. 01:35 khokanson-1 : @chriswherley they are lucky to have tech that gets it and understands 01:35 cfoote : and going to teachers and asking what they need. 01:35 cfoote : not waiting in her office for them. 01:36 khokanson-1 : @carolyn so true... the more accessible and transparent we become... 01:36 cfoote : right... 01:36 cfoote : true--an obstacle is teachers want to learn and support isn't always available. 01:36 cfoote : plus they don't have the time. 01:37 chriswherley : our positions somewhat create the divide between teachers and Info Tech. The bridge is the Instruction Technology position 01:37 babs : sometimes at our school they are not even sure what question to ask 01:37 cfoote : @khokanson definitely--librarians also--we need to go to people, not wait for them to come to us. 01:37 cfoote : outreach, customer service. 01:37 cfoote : too often tech depts are "office bound" 01:37 mrsdurff-1 : there is the time factor 01:37 babs : I think the 2.0 librarian is essential to tech integration...they are idea and solution people 01:37 mrsdurff-1 : meeting virtually helps 01:38 chriswherley : That is why I am reaching out to librarian, they are the closest a school of our size will get to Instru Tech 01:38 cfoote : @babs We can be, but then sometimes tech dept. is resistant to that. 01:38 cfoote : we need to have better partnerships. 01:38 mrsdurff-1 : i am both librarian and full-time teacher = no time 01:38 babs : true...I just would give my right arm for one of you 01:38 BenWilkoff : I'm in touch with a school that wants one person to be the learning services, IT, and library services leader... can that work? 01:38 cfoote : that's a lot for one person to do?
