Thursday on my planning, we (other teachers that share the same planning) met in the media center and sat for an hour listening to our media specialist about copyrights and how to check out books online and other resources,websites,etc for the students and teachers to use for teaching and projects. I think if this was done in the beginning my students would have been well off when I assigned different research assignments. The funny thing on the websites that was shown, I asked if there was anything healthcare related (because the media specialist was mentioning all the other core subjects) the response was I am uncertain. Overall there are so many resources out there to teach students about information literacyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588812949846182901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-18687818106452305402014-10-22T09:08:02.659-04:002014-10-22T09:08:02.659-04:00Hey Erin, That is a great idea using the media spe...Hey Erin, That is a great idea using the media specialists as resources. I agree with you on how students are very good at social sites, but are behind when it comes to using social media as an informative tool. I found this to be true when I assisted in Gravitt's class and the students where doing research on the internet. I think it is awesome that you keep information literacy fresh in your student's minds by spending three days every semester on it.<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12858774932066129894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-21133187112565111802014-10-20T13:56:26.170-04:002014-10-20T13:56:26.170-04:00Erin, that sounds like a highly effective activity...Erin, that sounds like a highly effective activity for the students. It is so important that students are information literate in the world we live in today. It also is a great idea to build upon their skills throughout the semester by requiring they research and use their information literacy during that time. It is great that your media center staff is so involved with this project and with your students. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550688572495606931noreply@blogger.com
