David Feighan, the Director, Libraries and Learning Resources at Bialik College has kindly shared the following information:
I can confirm that the podcasts of the Bialik Learning Futures Forum, which we promised to share with the wider school library community, are now available.
The Learning Futures / Learning Spaces Forum focused on the changes to the physical and online learning spaces in Australian schools. The forum considered:
- How the new school libraries being built in Australia work within current and emerging education pedagogues.
- How the physical library and online library and learning spaces work together to best meet the needs of schools.
- The rise of learning / information commons in universities and schools, and
- The rise of social media platforms in education settings.
Speakers include:
A. Professor Leon Sterling, Chair of Software Innovation and Engineering, Swinburne University
B. Jon Peacock, General Manager, Learning Environments at University of Melbourne
C. Dr Scott Bulfin, Lecturer, Monash University Faculty of Education
D. Jenny Luca, Head of Information Services, Toorak College
E. Mary Manning, Executive Officer, School Library Association of Victoria
F. David Feighan, Director, Libraries and Learning Resources, Bialik College
If you are involved in planning a new library or wanting to revamp your resources and services, this forum is a must listen source! Thanks David and Bialik for sharing this wonderful information and to the speakers for their knowledge and ideas.
