The 21st Century Learning Conference is an annual event in Hong Kong where teachers, staff, and school leaders come together to learn, share and discuss current & emerging topics in education with thought leaders, technology, and learning experts, and their peers. With over 650 attendees from 33 countries, it is the event of choice for a diverse international audience. The event blends together inspirational keynotes, practitioner-led workshop sessions, and fun networking opportunities.
The focus of this presentation will revolve around the following question: What would an ideal library/learning space look like to meet the needs of our 21st-century learning community and what kind of framework would support it?
This was the question that the librarians were asking while engaging in a dialogue with the ed-tech coaches. This presentation will describe the journey that our school librarians and ed-tech coaches took. How they merged into one department, took on developing a Technology and Information Literacy Framework, and as a consequence, how they began the process to redesign their learning spaces.
