Teachers, students, informal learning, transformation, GLAM! 
What is transformational learning and why is it relevant to education now?
What are the hot takes for teachers around learning generally, and digital learning specifically? How are students feeling about their learning, and where do they see the role of informal learning institutions in their education?
How is transformational learning fostered in informal learning contexts such as the GLAM sector (galleries, libraries, archives and museums)? What does this mean for teacher librarians going forward??

 Dr Lynda Kelly

Critical thinking and content knowledge: navigating the infoglut
We are today faced with what Mark Andrejevic calls an “infoglut”, wherein there is more information available at any moment than any single human could process. Nevertheless, we still have to make tactical and strategic decisions upon which our individual and collective well-being depends. It is commonly asserted that critical thinking can help us navigate this cognitively complex landscape, but what that means in practice is not always well-articulated. What does it mean to critically analyse or evaluate something, for example, and how is it different from just analysing or evaluating it? What is it that critical thinkers are critical about? In this presentation, we will consider how educators can use their understanding of criticality to better shape learning experiences and lesson design to focus on the thinking skills so necessary for success in an information dense world.
