  • I have re-framed information overload from being discussed as a cautionary consequence of the technology age to us living in a time of information abundance.  I think we are living in one of the most exciting times in the history of humankind. We are living in a world of information abundance, surplus, and access

      Actually - what worked is Saturn -car. You don't need quotes but you do need to place a space after the word Saturn and before the "-".
  • Finding the right search engine or database is also an important step in conducting online research,
  • Google Scholar
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Google Books
  • type in a key word and the word "kid" after it. Doing so pulls up results for younger students.
  • checking whether its URL ends in a .com, .org, .gov, or .edu.
  • a lesson called "Whodunit," which takes students to various sites and has them answer questions about who wrote the information, what their credentials are, and who is sponsoring the site.
  • a checklist to help students decide whether sites are credible. It includes questions such as: Are there dead links? Do images support the stated facts? Are there links and references to other websites, and resources and experts that corroborate the information?
  • language comes on too strong and the attempt is to persuade readers how to think
  • teaching a media-literacy unit
  • "If you don't take time to do it, the kids aren't going to be giving you their best work,"
  • integrated searching into her classroom by creating a classroom job of "searcher." That student's responsibility was to search the Internet for answers to questions that would come up during the day's class. Ms. Shaw used that approach as an opportunity to talk about strategies for good online research.

      A great idea! Indirect instruction plus careful modeling in class. Then outsource discussion questions as a homework assignment to the class "searcher." Eventually students will teach one another the skills.
  • Teachers should give credit to the process of searching, not just for the final product, she added. Students can turn in search logs or annotated bibliographies to emphasize that process.
  • it's vital to reinforce those skills repeatedly in working with students.
  • Every context is different.
  • predict the results they expect to see when they type in search terms,
  • November 2012, the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project released a study that surveyed 2,067 Advanced Placement and National Writing Project teachers.
  • You need precise words
  • while most teachers agreed that the Internet provides a wealth of information to students, they also said students often don't have the digital-literacy skills to wade through that information.
  • skim search results for words that pop up, especially unfamiliar words.
  • For instance, if a student wanted to find information on immigrants who send money back to their home countries, the term "remittances"
  • quotation marks around their search terms to get results that include the exact wording
  • minus sign eliminates something from a search.

    I was struck by the empahsis on planning for presentation space as part of the design for a library. The format of the final product or outcome of a research project in years to come will involve sharing in ways we have probably not yet considered, much less designed in our school spaces.

    The six Dimensions of Inquiry are: Questioning, Locating Information, Evaluating Information, Applying Information, Sharing Knowledge and Reflecting. Together they represent the inquiry process. Standards now require that inquiry be taught across all content areas and all grade levels. The IMatrix System allows you to see the hierarchical scaffolding of skills in these dimensions from early grades through high school...

    Attention, educators: training high school students early in digital research, partnering them with a school librarian, and providing time to practice skills can instill a high level of confidence during college. This triple play of digital literacy education was affirmed by preliminary observations of a study underway by EBSCO Information Service s, an online database provider.

    Similar to CRLS's webpage. This website has a ton of information on many topics from citing to evaluating online sources.
  • Dante Beretta on 09 Aug 13
     
    I like their explanation of why it is necessary to cite source material properly. It stresses the credibility that expert sources lend to an argument, the author's assumed interest in building his/her own professional reputation, the reader's possible interest in further study of a topic, and the importance of giving and receiving due credit for one's thoughts.

    Here's an article about Ohio's iMatrix from "Teacher Librarian"; I'll also post the link to iMatrix itself. It looks like a fancy version of what we are trying to do with our google site, and it's also searchable by skill or grade level. What keeps you up at night? Educating students to be college and career ready? Incorporating inquiry into your teaching for the very first time? Shifting your instruction to explore topics in greater depth and at more rigorous levels of learning? Or are you struggling to incorporate formative instructional assessment?

    While this article focuses on citation analysis and its impact in higher education, it discusses specific databases and the problem of keeping up with the boom in online information sources. It also provides a glimpse of the cutting edge of research about research.
