Why K-12 schools are failing by not teaching SEARCH | The Thinking Stick

Why K-12 schools are failing by not teaching SEARCH | The Thinking Stick | School Libraries around the world | Scoop.it

“I’m sorry the K-12 system has failed your students….they should know how to search by the time they get to college. But seeing that they don’t, until your students come prepared, you are going to have to pick up the slack.”

I then spent 30 minutes teaching university faculty how to search….because guess what……they didn’t know how to either. Which is exactly what I’ve come across with K-12 teachers, which helps to explain the unpreparedness of our students. So who is teaching our teachers the skills they need to teach our students?

Embracing Diversity: Sharing Our Songs and Rhymes | Burnaby Public Library

Do you know a children's song or rhyme
in a language other than English? We'd like to hear it!

 

Burnaby Public Library in British
Columbia, Canada is collecting songs and rhymes in many languages so everyone
can learn them. Videos of 30 songs and rhymes in 15 languages are available
through the Embracing Diversity: Sharing Our Songs and Rhymes website (www.embracingdiversity.bpl.bc.ca).

 

More songs and rhymes are available on
the Embracing Diversity Vimeo channel (http://vimeo.com/channels/embracingdiversity),
and we need your help to make this collection grow. It's easy -- 
videorecord yourself performing a children's song or rhyme and add your video
to Vimeo using the instructions found at http://www.bpl.bc.ca/kids/embracing-diversity/add-your-own-video.

 

We hope you'll visit the Embracing
Diversity website, let others know about it, and pass this invitation along.
