Keynote Address by Gwyneth Jones, The Daring Librarian

Choose to Be Fierce & Future Ready
​Our world is not changing back. In the tumult of today's technical and pedagogical innovation, it's time to take action! As fierce and future ready librarians our language has shifted to connect, collaborate, create, construct, make, flip, share, advocate and empower to move forward into the universe of rigorous instruction. This session will make sense of the sensational and decode the Babel of buzzwords. You needn’t choose to adopt and change everything in your tech tool bag - but picking just one or two new things to try, can transform your professional practice. Choosing to be an EdTech Trooper and a change agent within education isn't easy - but it's ultimately rewarding for administrators, teachers, librarians, and students! Doing the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, is optional.
