I've just been listening to blogger and technorati Will Richardson in an online conference about re-envisioning education and he makes some good points about how we have to begin changing education. First, we have to embrace change rather than fear it. Second, we have to reach beyond school walls to our students and understand that they are familiar with accessing information 24/7. Third, we have to understand that people will pursue their learning if they are impassioned.
My question is....how do librarians tap into that passion, provide guidance and direction to students who are ready to go down that road????

Here is the mp3 of Will's talk.
Thanks for listenting to my presentation. I think there is such a thing as connective librarianship as well, which is what you are modeling here. Start with your own passions, grow your network and share the way you learn with the students that come into your library. Readers can be exceptional modelers of learning.
Best,
Will Richardson
