Creating an Information Literacy Workshop for High School Girls - InfoSpace

Creating an Information Literacy Workshop for High School Girls - InfoSpace | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From ischool.syr.edu - December 19, 2017 10:09 AM
Back in September we were approached by iSchool Professor Rachel Ivy Clarke and Director of the B.S. in Information Management and Technology program director Deb Nosky with a challenge:

How do you teach information and data literacy to a group of high school girls interested in STEM fields?

… by making it fun, of course!

Given the idea to create an escape room by Deb, five of us library science students banded together (myself, Kara Conley, Kayla Del Biondo, Kim Hoffman, and Nicole Potter) to develop an It Girls workshop that addressed three main areas: information literacy and identifying fake resources, smart searching, and data literacy.

What transpired was a truly memorable experience for a group of LIS students with limited prior knowledge on instruction.

Tech skills are seriously lacking in universities – take it from the IT guy

Tech skills are seriously lacking in universities – take it from the IT guy | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.theguardian.com - May 29, 2017 5:13 PM
“Moodle Man!” came the cry from behind me. I cringed. I’d made the fatal mistake of walking through the campus helpdesk area during lunchtime on assignment hand-in day. I turned, clutching my meal deal, to see a student, and one of my regular customers, come barrelling towards me, laptop in hand. “How do I submit my assignment again?” she asked. “I really need a Jill Watson,” I said, abandoning my sandwich behind the desk. “Who’s Jill Watson?” came the reply. “Never mind, let’s have a look at your assignment”.

Don't Reinvent the Wheel: Digital Literacy Resources

Don't Reinvent the Wheel: Digital Literacy Resources | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From webjunction.org - May 11, 2014 11:22 AM
Libraries know digital literacy; they’ve been the go-to resource for their communities for years. Yet the need continues to grow as the demand for basic skills intensifies and new skills emerge. Whether supporting job hunters, students, older adults, or anyone seeking new technology knowledge, trainers in libraries are using curricula, resources, and tools to help people in their communities advance their digital proficiency. In this webinar, Digital Literacy: Libraries Respond to Community Needs, presenters shared practical ways for all libraries to address digital literacy programming and training—from classroom settings, drop-in classes, or responding to patron needs on the fly. A key theme with the three presenters was, “Don’t reinvent the wheel”, and that

10 tech terms everyone needs to know for 2014 | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From news.yahoo.com - August 18, 2013 1:24 PM

Information Technology (IT) is getting more pervasive and complicated every day.

Learning Spaces

Learning Spaces | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educause.edu - July 23, 2017 11:24 AM

Learning Spaces focuses on how learner expectations influence such spaces, the principles and activities that facilitate learning, and the role of technology from the perspective of those who create learning environments: faculty, learning technologists, librarians, and administrators. Information technology has brought unique capabilities to learning spaces, whether stimulating greater interaction through the use of collaborative tools, videoconferencing with international experts, or opening virtual worlds for exploration.

8 Must Have Classroom Posters for Technology Best Practices ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

8 Must Have Classroom Posters for Technology Best Practices ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - September 29, 2014 10:35 AM

Integrating technology in classroom teaching is not only about finding the best educational web tools to enhance students learning but a decent part of it is also related to the ethics behind such use.
