Hi Everyone, I would like to share this link to the SLAV question generator. It is a little interactive tool that allows you to create with your students a range of possible beginnings to your questions. It is interactive and fun to use but it also serves to prompt us to think of new ways of creating questions. I have used it with year 4 and 5 and found it very helpful. Regards Susan

This piece articulates why students need to be taught information literacy skills and be exposed to a variety of information sources on the web. "Students today write reports from information they find on the internet. They need to understand this type of new information source and the network it comes from. Students are making connections with many different kinds of people, actively looking for and soliciting different points of view. They need to develop the skill to work out just who are the experts are in the crowd and then using a "blend of personal and social information" to predict the best solution,create the best content and ask the best questions."
