Bringing students high quality information - TTT66 - 08.08.07 [44:28m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadLee Baber and Susan Ettenheim are joined by Sylvia Norton of MARVEL (Maine), Kate Storms of NOVEL (New York), Karen Minton and Courtney McGough of GALILEO (Georgia) to discuss how we can incorporate the rich resources of state funded databases into our blogging. We were so pleased that Joyce Valenza could also join us. Listen as we tackle some tough issues. Sylvia pointed out that the way to give our teens voice is to give them access to high quality information. This way they expand their knowledge and they become able to do the decision making that we want them to do.
How does information become knowledge and isn’t this what information literacy is really all about? At one point late in the podcast, Karen gives a wonderful example of a student project and then there is complete silence. The whole call crashed. Join us next week as we continue to crash calls and push the limits.
Please add your experiences with databases in your state’s box or add a box for your state and include your experiences, questions and stories! As always, we try to keep it real, so please tell real stories about when you and your students found what you needed or didn’t and what the challenges were - where did you look? - who helped you? - what did you need?
