TLs are collaborators

Teacher attitude can enable or
inhibit the TL’s potential

Literature, Literacy and Information
Literacy

The online world is a TL role
changer

IL
is a survival skill

Don Watson’s (2011) recent
essay on education in The Monthly seems
to sum up why we need both good teachers and good TLs in the 21st
century. Like many others, he challenges
the notion that access to information does not make us more informed.
“…the best mobile phones cannot do what a teacher
can. It is dumb like a mule, and no more the master of information we download
from it than a mule is master of the piano it carries on its back” (p11)
