Using Google’s Advanced Image Search Features (4:35) | Under Ten Minutes | News for North Country Cybrarians | Scoop.it

In an effort to stem teacher apprehension about letting students at the elementary level just “google” their image, Fred Koch created this screencast on the features of Google Advanced Image Search. In particular, this tutorial points to the importance of citing images, finding images which are ‘labeled for reuse’ and examining the SafeSearch options.

Student Debate Deepens Thinking and Engagement-pulling in the speaking and listening #commoncore standards

Student Debate Deepens Thinking and Engagement-pulling in the speaking and listening #commoncore standards | News for North Country Cybrarians | Scoop.it

Student debate has the capacity to both deeply engage the students in relevant learning, and to encourage students to be deep thinkers. Debate is more than simply arguing.

Paige Jaeger 's insight:

They should research in the library, before they debate to get an accurate picture.  Encourage teachers to create a reseach "task" for a debate and not just "respond" to a close reading with that as the only material for "positions."
