Things become dry during this session. Need to do more with search strategies (beyond Christopher Columbus) and point out needs of college students regarding research skills. Start equipping our students better.
Rather technical with reading URLs, but usually interesting to adults. Need activity for reading and evaluating URLs, for example. Even 10 minute blasts to go searching and reporting out.
3-19-07 Quite a bit of wandering in class.
Plugging in a synthesis activity:
Cut the old wiki links to a college wiki page and added our new wiki stuff about The Wright 3. Will have activity time for creating a wiki within class using Connie's picture books for older readers. Need 30 - 45 minutes.
Wikipedia research added. Will have groups of 2 or 3 do research and decide whether Wikipedia is a reliable source. Didn't get to this. Move to Session 6.
Note: Need to provide project work time and to re-focus class. Next session needs to review assignment planner and self-eval sheets. Also touch on specific EQs.
Thoughts on teaching the grad level Information Literacy and Big6 course in the district. What's good, bad, ugly and otherwise.
