7. If you build it… will they come?
8. Students & Mobile Devices •  Pearson  Founda,on  Survey  on  Students  &   Tablets  (2012)   –  Tablet  ownership  tripled  from  2011  to  2012   –  Believe  tablets  have  educa:onal  value   •  NMC  Horizon  Report  (2012,  2013)   –  BYOD  vs.  1:1  integra:on   –  Personalized  Learning  Environments   •  ECAR  Study  of  Undergraduates  and  Informa,on   Technology  (2013)   –  Students  want  technology  in  the  classroom  
9. M-learning “the  efficient  and  effec-ve  use  of  wireless  and   digital  technologies  to  enhance  learners’   individual  outcomes  during  par-cipa-on  in   learning  technologies”         (Rossing,  et  al.,  2012,  p.  2)  
10. iPads in Instruction: The Student Perspective (Rossing,  et  al.,  2012,  p.  11)  
11. If you build it… how will you teach? 7  
12. Library Instruction Confidence August  2013   0%   8%   8%   69%   15%   Overall,  how  confident  do  you  feel  as  a  library   instructor?   Not  at  all  confident   Not  confident   Neural   Confident   Very  confident  
13. How comfortable do you feel… 7%   7%   21%   36%   29%   ...using  an  iPad  or  other  tablet  computer   Very  Uncomfortable   Uncomfortable   Neutral   Comfortable   Very  Comfortable   August  2013  
14. 7%   50%   29%   14%   0%   ...planning  your  library  instrucCon  sessions  to  take   place  in  a  classroom  equipped  with  iPads?   Very  Uncomfortable   Uncomfortable   Neutral   Comfortable   Very  Comfortable   How comfortable do you feel… August  2013  
15. Support! •  ACRL  Immersion  Teaching  with  Technology   •  TU  Librarian  Training  &  Professional   Development   – “iPad  Day”  –  August  2013   – “iPlan  Instruc:on”  Ac:vity  –  January  2014   – Classroom  Open  House  –  January  2014   •  Ongoing   – iPad  Teaching  Group   – SharePoint  site  with  lesson  repository   – iPads  for  Librarians  program  –  NEW!  
16. Technology as a Tool 8  
17. “Tool kit” approach •  Three-­‐:ered  approach:  Experience,  evaluate,   customize  technologies   •  Look  for:  characterisCcs,  outcomes,    caveats,   and  affordances  for  the  learner  and  instructor   •  Iden:fy  and  understand  affordances       Which  affordances  of  the  iPad  lend  it  to  being   tool  for  one-­‐shot  library  instruc,on?   (Booth,  2011,  p.  64-­‐75)  
18. Affordance Categories 1. Assessment   2. Collabora-on   3. Communica-on   4. Customiza-on   5. Documenta-on   6. Play   7. Portability     8. Produc-vity   9. Sharing   10. Visualiza-on   Booth,  p.65  
19. We  Interrupt  this  Presentation   for  Audience  Participation   9  
20. Given your experiences… •  What  affordances  do  mobile  technologies   provide  that  you  could  take  advantage  of  in   the  classroom?   •  What  affordances  might  mobile  technologies   lack?   1.  Assessment   2.  Collabora-on   3.  Communica-on   4.  Customiza-on   5.  Documenta-on   6.  Play   7.  Portability     8.  Produc-vity   9.  Sharing   10. Visualiza-on  
21. Example: iPad
22. iPads in Libraries •  Calkins  &  Bowles-­‐Terry  (2013)  iden:fied  four   primary  uses  for  tablets  in  libraries:   – Clinical  segngs   – Higher  educa:on  classrooms   – Reference  services   – Library  circula:on  programs  
23. One-Shot Case Studies •  Calkins  &  Bowles-­‐Terry  (2013)   –  Lihle  evidence  in  the  literature  about  whether  tablets   affect  student  engagement  or  learning   –  First  year  students  and  concept  mapping   •  Julian  (2013)   –  Observed  teacher  and  student  behaviors     –  Few  differences  between  iPad  vs.  “regular”  instruc:on   –  “Those  [librarians]  who  modified  their  teaching  found   the  greatest  sa:sfac:on  with  the  flexible  learning   syndrome”  
24. Based  on  Cook  Library’s  experience…                   …what  are  the  opportuni,es  and  challenges   librarians  face  when  teaching  with  mobile   technology?   10  
25. OPPORTUNITIES
26. Active Learning & Engagement “I  want  there  to  be  less  lecture  and  more  group   ac-vity.  I  do  small  group  work  or  in  class  work  now,   but  I  want  the  classroom  to  be  more  engaged  with   me,  discussing  the  lesson  with  each  other  and  back   with  me”   “More  focused  on  IL  concepts,  less  on  tasks.”   “This  is  good  because  it  forces  the  issue  of   implemen-ng  ACTIVE  learning“   11  
27. Creating a Concept Map •  A  concept  map  is  a  diagram  that  can  be  created  to   show  connec:ons  between  different  aspects  of  a   topic.   •  Sample:  “Social  media”   •  Use  the  iPad  app  “Popplet  (lite)”  to  create  a  concept   map  for  your  own  group  project  topic   –  Demo  of  app   –  See  handout  and  ask  for  more  help  if  needed   … activity example
28. … activity example Sample Concept Map
29. Mobility/Flexibility “The  ability  to  hold  class  sessions  in  non-­‐tradi-onal   se^ngs”   “Being  able  to  move  around  -­‐  carry  the  IPAD  directly   to  the  student”   “Portability  (not  being  [tethered]  to  a  classroom)”   “I  would  love  to  be  able  to  have  the  students  w/  the   iPads  in  the  book  stacks  retrieving  materials  as  they   find  them  using  Cook  OneSearch”   12  
30. …activity example
31. Collaboration 13   “In  many  cases  I  found  it  most  useful  to  get  students   working  in  teams,  with  one  common  assignment  to   complete,  and  individuals  suppor-ng  the  team  with   their  own  searching  on  an  ipad.“  
32. Novelty, Play, & Innovation 14   “…more  crea-vity  and  involvement  from  students   in  developing  their  research  topics”   “ease  of  use  [and]  ‘fun’  factor…”   “Novelty  to  gain  student  agen-on”    
33. CHALLENGES
34. “planning  for  more  -me  to  get   segled,  more  planning  -me  to  find   the  right  app/solu-on  or  ac-vity   planned  around  an  app,  more  -me   for  prac-cing”   Time 15  
35. Infrastructure & Technology “bagery  life,  theh,  reliance  on  a  digital  network”   “dealing  w/  technology  glitches  -­‐  I  guess  that   means  I  always  have  to  backup  plan  -­‐  this  could   be  problema-c  in  a  classroom  that  has  only  a   limited  number  of  desktops…  Don't  know  enough   about  what  could  fail  w/  an  iPad”   “I  hope  there  aren't  too  many  technical  barriers”   16  
36. … activity examples
37. The “Perfect” App “finding  the  right  apps  for  the  right  teachable   moments  [is  challenging]”  
38. Square peg, round hole 17   “I  don't  believe  they  mimic  the  research   experiences  that  students  have  at  home/out  of   the  library  classroom  -­‐  so  perhaps  we  are   training  on  technology  that  won't  be  useful  to   them.  ”  
39. Given our experiences… •  What  do  you  think  are  the  greatest  benefits   to  using  mobile  devices  in  informa:on   literacy  or  other  library  instruc:on?   •  How  can  you  plan  to  overcome  the  challenges   of  using  mobile  devices  in  the  classroom?  
40. Wrapping up •  Tools  for  analyzing  and  applying  mobile   technology  in  instruc:on  sessions?   Implementa-on  magers!   •  Current  climate  of  library  instruc:on  provided   in  a  mobile  environment?                                                         We’re  s-ll  figuring  it  out!   •  Opportuni:es  and  challenges  librarians  face   when  teaching  with  mobile  technology.   Numerous  &  varied!
