A couple of months ago I shared with you here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning a graphic that features 27 things teacher librarians do and today I am sharing with you another equally interesting graphic but this time it outlines the roles of the future librarians. While these roles have been particularly conceived to showcase the skills a future librarian needs, I see them as an arsenal of skills that teachers and educators need to master as well.

3 Knowledge Domains For The 21st Century Student
Thinking in the 21st century is just different. That doesn’t mean we’re all suddenly omnipotent cyborgs, nor does it mean we’ve all become mindless social media addicts that spend our cognitive might tapping, swiping, and…

9 Characteristics Of 21st Century Learning
The label of “21st Century learning” is vague, and is an idea that we here at TeachThought like to take a swing at as often as possible, including: –weighing the magic of technology with its incredible cost and complexity –underscoring the potential for well thought-out instructional design –considering the considerable potential of social media platforms against its apparent divergence from academic learning Some educators seek out the ideal of a 21st century learning environment constantly, while others prefer that we lose the phrase altogether, insisting that learning hasn’t changed, and good learning looks the same whether it’s the 12th or 21st century.

The TEDxNED 2013 conference included a series of talks focussed on learning insde and outside of the classroom. The talks can all be found on this website and provide insights about modern learning. The common strand woven throughout all talks were: Meaningful person-to-person interactions are essential, especially in the emerging world of automated educationExperience is more important than contentMotivated educators are carving out niches of hands-on discovery, despite the impediments against them

It is obvious now that the way instruction is delivered in classrooms is completely different from how it was done in the past. Part of this change is instigated by the massive uptake of digital media and its sweeping encroachment into every facet of our life. The increasing digitization of life have brought about some new learning habits that are more independent and self centered. It has also opened the gates of knowledge and provided unrestricted access to it .

Around the world, policymakers and educators have high hopes for ICT in the classroom as a springboard to students’ “21st century skills”—that combination of competencies in solving problems, collaborating, thinking critically, and managing their own learning that we know is needed for success in the global workplace. But again and again, we see a gap between how this type of teaching and learning is described in policy documents and the pedagogy that most students experience. Often, teachers want to teach in these new ways but are missing the supports they most need to make it happen. To address this gap, the 3-year ITL (Innovative Teaching and Learning) Research project was designed to study teaching practices that support students’ learning of 21st century skills and the system of supports that can help teachers to adopt those practices. The research was carried out in a uniquely diverse set of seven countries: Australia, Indonesia, Russia, Finland, Senegal, England, and Mexico. The project was sponsored by Microsoft Partners in Learning and in-country sponsors, with rigorous research methods designed by SRI International and carried out by leading research organizations within each country. While the participating countries have very different education systems and histories of innovation, the research was able to look across them: what do the necessary supports for innovative teaching in Indonesia and Finland have in common?

I find this work clicks with the purpose of the posts I mentioned above . It is true that the work is subjective but at least it captures the essence of the transformational change that has befell education in the 21st century . Check it out below and share with us what you think of it.
