Does it matter that not all students who go to libraries read the books? I wonder if we have statistics about those who do and those who don't? I would also like to hear about those students who go to the library only for the wifi and accidentally find a book they didn't even k ow they wanted......

"Lately, there have been a bunch of buzzwords floating around the education world that all seem to mean the same thing. You’ve probably heard them: problem-based learning, project-based learning and inquiry-based learning. Is there a difference? How will you know which one to do in your classroom?"

I don't think anyone minds students starting with Wikipedia but as with any encyclopedia it should only be your starting point. Where are your research skills if that is all you look at? Likewise it would not be good enough if you chose just one academic source, a variety is needed.

The first step we took in 1999 was to stop teaching isolated library skills classes. We began reinforcing information-literacy skills through class projects. At that time, we employed traditional strategies, including paper pathfinders and guided lab sessions. Via Susan Bainbridge, Karen Bonanno

Muito bom o artigo, e uma ótima ferramenta para pesquisa de alunos e professores, para melhorar seu desempenho e utilizar melhor esta ferramenta tão presente no nosso dia a dia que é a internet, a importância da leitura não é muito apreciada por muitas pessoas, que já se acostumaram com a cultura da informação mastigada que a TV e a internet consolidaram em nosso país. Se o problema é tempo, os bookmarks estão sempre oferecendo a opção read later, e com o apresentado no artigo acima, ainda resume todo o texto para os mais apressadinhos, vale a pena conferir e utilizar.

If you are looking for quiz making software there are a lot of choices.I like to use the quiz tool built in to Edmodo, I briefly subscribed to Pro Profs as i is the only program that will randomly choose a certain number of questions from a larger bank so that each quiz is a little different.
Edmodo is fantastic!!
