Judy O'Connell

I'm based in Sydney and work in online environments for the Faculty of Education, School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University. My professional experience spans primary, secondary and tertiary education, at school and district level, with a focus on learning, libraries and information curation. I've long been passionate about global participation and collaboration, so my ongoing commitment to projects like the Horizon Report: K-12 edition and the international journal School Libraries Worldwide helps me stay in-tune with 21st century learning innovation. My favourite areas of interest include: Information fluency and transliteracy; New media and social networking; Gaming and virtual worlds; Web 3.0 and the semantic web; School library design; and Public library services to children and young adults.
