Generational Learning - Fitting content to match the consumer
Barry Adams Ed.D., Apple
For the first time in history, there are now four generations of adults living, working and learning within the same society. It sets a tone for the explosion of change that society faces in the 21st century. For the first time, there are four generations of adults raising families, going to work, going to school. The day of the multi-age classroom is here. The issues of how to manage diverse generations in the workplace are upon us.
In this fast paced session we will examine the characteristic learning styles of these four generations and then begin to understanding how content can be shaped and channeled to meet their unique needs. Using technology as an instructional ally, we can find new and imaginative ways to meet the needs of the classrooms of tomorrow.

Managing Information Overload
Paul St-Pierre, Reference Librarian (Sciences), Tulane University
Prior to the Internet the library enjoyed a near monopoly in the provision of scholarly information, and it continues to have higher quality electronic resources than the free web. However, with hundreds of vendors using different systems (Tulane subscribes to 500 databases and 30,000 e-journals), comprehensive information gathering has become more challenging. Thus researchers turn to the simplicity of Google, with its easy interface and guaranteed results of unverified quality. Enter MetaLib®, locally called "Article & Database Finder.” Funded by a Technology Services Avenues to Renewal grant, this integrative library technology offers streamlined new ways of finding and managing the best available scholarly sources.
2-3pm
Twixt, rocks, and hard places.
David Myers Ph.D., Loyola University

Keynote: Being There in the Real Time Web
Alan Levine, VP of the New Media Consortium
Riddle me this. In the time span of half a generation since the consumerization of the web, this supernova expansion of information technology across a global network has seismically shifted the foundation of traditional industries such as publishing, commerce, television, music, telephony... yet how much has changed in education? For many people who have lived through this time, we carry frameworks of information organized into files, folders, static documents mostly in isolation from other information. Another wave is upon us via what may be called the "real time web", where we tap into a rich flow of data propagating via social networks that challenges our instincts of organization, management, and retrieval. We cannot grasp the significance looking in from the outside; to understand we ought to "be there." In this presentation, we'll jump right into the real time flow for a taste of what may be possible for educators like you to harness.
