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.

What a mess this will make! Hopefully legislators will think twice about this one.

Teen Second Life snags a library

For those of you who haven't heard of Teen Second Life here's a blurb that describes it quite well: "Teen Second Life is a 3-D, international gathering place on the Internet where teens 13-17 can make friends, play, learn and create. Teens create a digital version of themselves, called an avatar, that they use to travel around the "virtual world," meet new people and participate in a variety of activities." This was an announcement from Oct 6th: http://alliancelibrarysystem.com/article.cfm?id=1176 Charlotte, NC - Oct. 6, 2006 -The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County (PLCMC) and the Alliance Library System are pleased to announce a partnership to collaborate on the "Eye4You Alliance," an island in Teen Second Life that will offer virtual library services to teens.
