St. Cloud State University Literacy Education Online - 2 views

  •  
    Similar to CRLS's webpage. This website has a ton of information on many topics from citing to evaluating online sources.
  •  
    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.

    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.

    Read the short blog post, follow some of the links, and most importantly, try to find 50 minutes to watch the Will Richardson video - from his ISTE presentation. All of this reinforces my belief (our belief) that the library should be at the CENTER of a school's academic purpose. Teachers should be sending students to this place of inquiry, research, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. This belief should drive our library re-design and it's program.

  • 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
