Hi MILI folks (especially St. Paul) . . .
It sounds like there has been some confusion about the “Dribbling” lessons www.metrolibraries.net/pro/dribbling.html. The main thing to focus on are the lessons at the top of the page which are listed under QUESTION, GATHER, CONCLUDE, COMMUNICATE, EVALUATE. These are “little” lessons you may be able to add to your already established curriculum, and they focus specifically on research and information literacy skills (such as “Narrowing a Topic” and “Evaluating Websites”). Beginning in January, I’ll be adding to this section, and I would love to know if you have suggestions of concepts to cover or content to include.
Farther down the main page, there are also links to lessons for some subject areas. The only subjects currently covered are Art, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies because those are the subjects the teachers in last year’s project taught. However, this section is really only meant to show a few examples of lessons which effectively incorporate information literacy skills, and they are broadly organized by each subject’s MN standards. There’s a chance that a lesson or two could fit into what you already do. At the top of each page there is a link to additional resources which leads to a page with links to websites which consistently offer great lessons so you can find lessons that fit and incorporate info lit. Also in January, I plan to add more subject areas so it is more widely applicable. Again, comments and suggestions always welcome! Maybe we can eventually add a button for that on the site . . .
Hope this helps. Great blogging everyone!!
