Further Thoughts S - Topic Title - Information Literacy, Technology and National Curriculum - Teacher Librarian Stratergy into Classroom Action (too long but you get the idea) C - I agree. I think the title needs to be more about info literacy and ICT and the National curriculum could just be an angle within the slides to add currency. I think our topic area needs narrowing down. We don't know a lot about the National Curriculum yet so it will be difficult to write about. Maybe something like "Creating Information and Digitally literate Students in the 21st century learning environment: Strategic Planning Considerations"

L - (3) In implementing the AustraIian curriculum, the unique knowledge and skill set of the TL, both vertically and horizontally across stages and in information literacy through ICTs is identified. L - (2) The importance of cross-curriculum information literacy through ICTs in whole school teaching and learning is realised, along with long-term strategic planning for implementation and development C - (2) (I took your lead Lucy)The importance of strategically planning the facilitation of information literacy skills through ICTs is realised, within the context of the impending National Curriculum. L - (1) The critical elements of strategic planning are examined for executing information literacy through ICTs in the new Australian curriciulum. C - (1) The critical elements of SP to facilitate IL acquisition through **collaborative Web 2.0 tools** (just throwing this one up instead of ICTs???) is recognised, within the context of the introduction of a National Curriculum. L - I like the title.

G - 3) Clearly identifies the unique skills and knowledge of the TL in ICT and information literacy and their ability to apply these to the National Curriculum for (1) the whole school or either (2) across all years and all subjects. **//We would delete one of these// choices.**
 * C -**Like it with option 1. (C- Identification of...)

B - (3) I like Garry's wording - perhaps 'in a whole school approach'? T - I like the original title (1) Critical elements of strategic planning with the incorporation of ICT and information literacy through the Australian National Curriculum (2) Is fine as it is

S - the above suggestions were so like mine that I will just leave it at the above suggestions - hope thats OK
