Today, I found the site about L4L which deals with the Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and it being implemented into the Library in Fall 2008. That will change our lesson plans and classes as we know it. I know teachers and Librarians will figure the changes will not happen. Why? Because, they are taught a lot of new things and for a year they put effort in it due to being watched. The next year they will keep it up a little and the 3rd year they will stop using it all together use very little of it.
The difference is they will have to change for this one. When computers came out the same thing happened. Thirty years later, people still don't know how to use computers. The difference is this time it will be backed with the standards, which we didn't have before. We all need to realize this and learn for the betterment of our students. Library 2.0 and Web 2.0 blends in well with the new changes due to the 21st Century learner. It will be daunting at first but with workshops and direction we will take a big step into the 21st Century.
This is all being changed in every discipline. It is all dealing with higher level thinking.

What Is Intellectual Freedom? What is the ALA Code of Ethics? How does it affect me?http://www.ala.org/ala/aasl/aaslissues/aasl_intellectual_freedom_brochure.pdf
When I went back to work yesterday I noticed all the changes to Destiny. They added a section called Destiny Quest. Destiny Quest is helping us take that step. When I look at things on the Internet now I see all the changes Web 2.0 has made. I noticed the Educational websites haven't started like the rest. Is this going to stay this way? Will the Educational sites get on board. The major sites like National Geographic and others of that caliber.
