“ “It simply isn’t the 20th Century any more is it? So why would we teach as though it was?” Steven Heppell Carol Koechlin 2010

What is the Alternative to Change? Everything is on the Internet and it’s FREE! Kids can just ‘Google’ it. E-Books will replace print One-one computers Outsourcing is cheaper Are school libraries “the great assumption”? How do school libraries move to the centre of teaching and learning? How do school libraries contribute to student success and school improvement? 14Carol Koechlin 2010

Curriculum 21:Essential education for a changing world “Rather than being victimized by our program structures, we should be creating new types of learning environments for a new time and for various types of teaching and learning. Not to do so is a declaration not to learn.”, Page 79 15Carol Koechlin 2010
