=21st Century Learner Conference= I went to a conference led by Dr. Willard Daggett on 21st Century Learners. It was extremely eye opening as to the limitations we are currently putting on our students, but as he talked, I kept thinking about how the LMS can be at the center of making changes. He wasn't talking about libraries, but since they are at the heart of a school and the librarian can have a huge amount of influence, I couldn't help but make some connections. Students do better when they loop. They may not be able to loop with their teachers, but they are continuously looping with the librarian. The librarian has to leverage those relationships to help students.

Among many other things, he also mentioned technologies that are now in place that we are not utilizing in the classroom. Again, the library seems the perfect way to introduce some of these technologies that students are using that adults seem oblivious to. Daggart mentioned nano technologies and Wolfram Alpha which I immediately downloaded and started using. He also talked about things that we address in this program - teaching students to reflect, use resources and work together. He used charts to show that schools are just not developing readers that are prepared for college, jobs or military, and how we as educators need to make education relevant so that rigor is attained and maintained.Since the LMS is prepared to step up and think outside the traditional education box, we must be prepared to take leadership roles in these areas.
