I can't believe it!
Having just added an iPad to the library collection, I went to the iPad Users Group after school, run by one of my colleagues. I was asking him all about e-books and their potential use in the library, along with comics and other applications that might be useful............
I was taking lots of notes and feeling rather impressed with myself when he started showing me ápps' that I had heard about and had a vague idea of how they worked...........
When all of a sudden................
Out of the blue...................
I actually knew about something that he hadn't heard of!
Well I could've fallen off my chair......................but I didn't..........
There I was............. introducing him.......... 'the expert' ...........to something he'd never heard of in the wonderful world of technology!
Now don't get me wrong, I don't profess to know too much about technology, which is why I was there in the first place...................but it was pretty nice to realise that all this reading and thinking is actually making a difference.
And then it hit me................... I am using information skills and critical thinking to actually become a more information literate person.
Crazy that I am actually a living and breathing example of information literacy, especially as it pertains to transferance and multi-modal literacies.
So here I am, a lifelong learner who constantly engages in this "transformational process", as Abilock (2004) defines it, in order to gain deep knowledge.
YAY!!!!!
It's working!!!!
