1. The document discusses the context, experiences, reflections, and evaluation of transforming a school library into a learning commons through integrating physical, virtual, and communal spaces and resources. 2. It emphasizes the importance of democratic planning processes that involve stakeholders to redesign library spaces in a way that focuses on students, not just technology or resources. 3. The goal is to connect students' work in the learning commons to the school's mission and academic objectives through best teaching practices, professional development, and raising student understanding rather than just training.
Birds of a Feather Presentation: Beyond 1 to 1
- 1. Jen LaMaster Assistant Principal Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School BEYOND 1:1
- 2. SO WHAT DO WE DO?
- 4. CONTEXT • What communities are present in the school? • How are they articulated now, 3 years from now? 15years from now? • Interactive strategies to build relationships between stakeholders. This is the new job of the leader…
- 5. • Imagine…. If someone walked into your school right now, what 3 things would stick in their minds?
- 6. The relationship between the material practices and the symbolic meanings that social agents attach to their spatial environments.
- 7. Thus the meaning of a text is not as much a quality of the text itself as it is an experience in the mind of the user. - Ole Jensen Discourse Analysis and SocioSpatial Transformation Processes
- 8. • Imagine… How do you connect the dots between your work and student learning? Between your work and school mission? Between your work and those things that keep your Principal and AP up at night?
- 9. SO HOW DID WE GET HERE?
- 10. EXPERIENCE • Physical • Virtual • Communal
- 11. THE PHYSICAL • The practical workings within… • Computer hardware/software, furnishings, designated spaces and traditional collections

- 21. Best practices in teaching and learning… and raising children Professional Development
- 22. • Remember – a media booth does not turn a student into a scholar… that begins to happen when pedagogy, design and re-conceptualized services come together • Learning is not training… it is understanding and insight

Editor's Notes
- #5: Discourse Communities – a group of people with shared values, goals, assumptions and ways of communicating. This is deeper than Students, Faculty, Parents, Jesuit. These are your stakeholders.
- #6: Reflect independently… pair and share. Write out on Post It Paper on wall
- #7: Hopefully in the reporting out people have listed examples of material practices and symbolic meanings….Discuss
- #8: What do you see here… how is the experience lived in this picture? How is the experience lived in the mind of your users in your space? How do you connect the dots between what you want and the experience in the mind of the users?
- #13: Bring in 1:1 Computer issues
- #18: Again… increased access with 1:1 programs
