What exactly is a Learning Commons?
• …it’s a
collaborative
space created by
users that turns
the library into the
“center, the
network, of social,
cultural and
learning in the
school.”Loertscher, David. The New Learning Commons Where
Learners Win: Reinventing School Libraries and
Computer Labs (Hi Willow, 2008)

What is a 21st Century Learner?
“Twenty-first century learners are always on, always connected. They are comfortable multitasking. They are multimedia oriented. Their world is Web-based. They want instant gratification. They are impatient, creative, expressive and social. They are risk-takers who thrive in less structured environments.”
