Volume 31, May 2012 5 so you think they can Judy O’Connell, Lecturer in Library and Information Management, Faculty of Education, Charles Sturt University, Australia, urges Scan readers to make learning visible by re-envisioning information literacy for today’s learners. learn? By ZdenekBuchsbaum @ heyjudeonline Follow me Influence of emerging technologies A summary and predictor of the influence of emerging technologies has been the international Horizon Report K–12 edition, issued annually since 2009. The 2011 report highlights the key technology trends that are currently affecting the practice of teaching, learning, and creativity. The following five trends have been identified as key drivers of technology adoptions for the period of 2011 to 2016. 1. The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators. 2. As IT support becomes more and more decentralised, the technologies we use are increasingly based not on school servers, but in the cloud. 3. Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we work, collaborate, communicate and succeed. 4. People expect to be able to work, learn, and study whenever and wherever they want to. 5. The perceived value of innovation and creativity is increasing. Teachers are passionate people, committed to providing students with rich learning experiences and diverse opportunities to help them rise to the challenges that our world provides. The 21st century conception of learning is about much more than simply adopting new skills and integrating them into the curriculum, or purchasing new technologies and placing them in classrooms. It is the fundamental shift from a teacher centred learning environment to a student centred one (Zmuda, 2009). Most teachers want to learn how to prepare students to succeed in the 21st century (Figure 1) because this century is unlike any other for the rapid pace of change being driven by technology.
