Inspired Learning in the Library

Abstract

The iCentre at Iona Presentation College has created a unique program that merges the traditional aspects of information literacy, study skills and critical and creative thinking into a holistic program. It traverses all year levels and embraces various learning groups and curriculum support programs. Using the library program as the foundation and technology as a key delivery platform, this initiative attempts to ensure that every student in the school not only receives ongoing opportunities to master skills and knowledge considered essential for 21st century learners, but also develops the cognitive and affective predispositions towards learning, personal development, self-efficacy and accountability.
