Social studies teachers now have a new resource to help them integrate 21st-century skills into their lessons: a free online document that maps various social studies projects, tasks, and outcomes to corresponding skills--such as problem solving and critical thinking--that are becoming increasingly important for 21st-century success.
TRAILS is a knowledge assessment with multiple-choice questions targeting a
variety of information literacy skills based on sixth and ninth grade standards.
This Web-based system was developed to provide an easily accessible and flexible
tool for library media specialists and teachers to identify strengths and
weaknesses in the information-seeking skills of their students.
