Curation pathfinder information skills and embedded librarian

Curation pathfinder information skills and embedded librarian | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
The goal this year is to raise the level of research and scholarship at our school so that we are, in fact, a true research library. With this goal, we launched a series of online research and course guides in collaboration with faculty who worked with us over the summer. Our physical collection is excellent but needs better signage and a more accessible arrangement. Our primary concern, however, is that students need to learn to navigate the tsunami of online information that bombards them on a daily basis.

A really good introduction/guide on how to provide pathfinder information/research skills for e-resources  users.

Tons of Ideas on How to Use Google Apps in your Classroom | Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

Tons of Ideas on How to Use Google Apps in your Classroom | Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

George Couros has recently shared a tweet about a wonderful resource on Google Apps in education. This is basically a work in progress in which educators and teachers from different educational stripes contribute with their ideas on how to use the various Google Apps in education. I have been reading some of these ideas and I was really stunned at the intellectual  depth and stretch of some of them to the extent that I decided to share the document link with you here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning.
