Look at all these CT librarians who came down to help us celebrate! It was so much fun! But I wanted to share my 2 minute speech with you, because I hope it encapsulates EVERYTHING we have been trying to convey here. Here we are at the 1 ½ year mark of edWeb.net/emergingtech, and I thought we might pause to review for a couple of minutes. I know I’ve referenced Tom Friedman's Untouchables before, but here goes.

In the fall of 2009, New York Times OP-ED columnist Tom Friedman wrote a piece called “The New Untouchables.” It was about the role of education in creating recession-proof workers. He challenged schools to grow learners with the imagination to make themselves untouchable

to invent smarter ways to do old jobs greener ways to provide new services new ways to attract old customers, and combine existing technologies.

He said, “We don’t need more, education, we need the right education.”

One might assume that Michael and I are here because we do things right at New Canaan High School library. But that that is not it. While we do many things right, we are here because we are given permission to experiment and to make mistakes, and that is the beauty of true learning.

Learning is fun,

, it is interactive

it involves risk,

it requires imagination, curiosity, and perseverance.

All of us at New Canaan High School, teachers and students alike, are permitted that luxury

the luxury of the right education.

My colleague Chris Russo and I strive to provide a school library program that empowers members of the New Canaan High School community to be better, self-directed, and more adaptable learners. We coach students to become their own teachers.

It is clear that we share in the collective responsibility for the community’s learning.

So this award belongs to that community for trusting and empowering its school librarians to innovate learning with students, to experiment and explore, to evolve and grow.

By granting teachers the right education, you ensure students an even better one. This evening’s recognition honors that principle.

Michael DeMattia (NCHS 2012) was joined by Alex Bakker (NCHS 2006) and Matt Djavaherian (NCHS 2003) at yesterday's event, and THAT is what it is all about. Amazing kids grow into remarkable adults and nothing could be more rewarding than facilitating that.

“I need to listen to this webinar again because I still don't understand curation” “Yes, organizing information you take from online for a purpose.”

“I like thinking about curation just as they use it in the museum world... purposefully collecting content around a theme and presenting it beautifully!”
