      We have opportunities to reach outside our own classrooms and communities to help others with the click of a button. We should be modeling this kind of action within our students. 
  • So last month they started a petition on Change.org, the go-to site for Web uprisings. They demanded that Universal Studios “let the Lorax speak for the trees.” The petition went viral, quickly gathering more than 57,000 signatures, and the studio updated the movie site with the environmental message that the kids had dictated.

      This is a great website for showing students that there REALLY IS a lot of garbage out on the web! It has a cache of old, erroneous websites to show them.  Although, I must write the editor to let them know that the "Canadian World Domination" webpage has been itself erroneously put on their webpage ;)

      a great article discussing information literacy with young readers
  • Research and information literacy is something students work on throughout their school career. It's a collection of skills that, when combined, means that a learner is able to find, understand, evaluate and use information. Interest in information literacy grew out of a need to create learners for the 21st century. Here you'll find information about two ways to begin to develop information literacy in your child.
  • Parents and teachers can help children develop research and information literacy by sharing their love of learning. Encourage their curiosity about the world and desire to find out more. At the same time, help them become wise consumers of the information they find. These are skills that will last a lifetime.

  • Literacy in the 21st century is worlds away from past processes of defining and interpreting information. The new age of digital technology is redefining the ways we find, evaluate and process concepts. Information literacy—how we identify, locate, and evaluate information—is a crucial skill in all disciplines and levels of education.

  • The Big6TM is an information literacy curriculum, an information problem-solving process, and a set of skills which provide a strategy for effectively and efficiently meeting information needs
  • It can be used whenever students are in a situation, academic or personal, which requires information to solve a problem, make a decision or complete a task. Using a multi-level approach, students can develop competency in information problem-solving and decision-making that will carry forward into lifelong, useable skills.

    OMG! We are teaching children so many skills, Its amazing how schools and teachers are constantly finding techniques, tools, ways to educate, that we should improve so much as humanbeings, forgeting about war and money and working on improving ourselves and how we live and we take care of the world and we care for each other!
