SLMS 2007-Ethics-Session 3

I went to Information Ethics presented by Ed Nizalowski.

His concept was good-putting a section of information literacy into a Participation in Goverment class. His project took 5 days to complete but was taught in isolation with the teacher leaving the room during it. On a positive note, he did get to evaluate his part.

He created a webquest to go with it but he didn't show it to us or share a link for it.

Unfortunately his presentation was poor (due to many things). This caused much of the idea to be lost. We received one handout on the project. The idea was a good one though.

Curriculum and Libraries

If you are teaching Information Literacy, there is a great grade-friendly curriculum available at Common Sense Media . It is easy to follow and very student friendly. At the Corning Painted-Post Middle Schools, we have been teaching a class this year to the 6th grades called Library and Information Skills. This site has had some great resources we have used. Another site we have used for resources is: ReadWorks . Their stories are mostly non-fiction and align to the Common Core.

Library drops Dewey!

The Gilbert library in Arizona is opening a new library and ditching Dewey. Here is the link for the article: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/0530nodewey0530.html The are going to shelve by topic...Move over Barnes & Nobles!

The library

We only have one more day before midterms begin. I have been trying to get the magazine order straightened out and the rest of the books cataloged in. I taught database researching this week to another class of seniors. I have to say I love http://citationmachine.net if you have never used this site, it shows you how to cite resources in MLA and APA format.
