These are a Few of my Favorite Things

Thing 1 - What are you talking about? Understanding Information Literacy.



Wordy Blog 1 discusses random attempts at informational and technological literacy prior to coming to the class use of this term academically broken down into the four parts of: research process, technology use, reading and media literacy and responsible use of technology and learning. This blog recognizes the value of the organizing for instruction in order to get past random and get into a more competent use of information and technology so as to develop lifelong skills.



Idea for vocabulary use: a word wall.



Collaboration works with staff as with students through relationships developed in many ways not the least of which is this experience.



Standards and Scope and Sequence for 9-12 plots specifically the things done previously in a ramdom manner.



Articles for suggested reading contains the great humor concluding Mr. Nishimuro's article on Information Literacy which has many quotes from earlier times of which my particular favorite:

(Television) won't be able to hold on to any market it captures after six month. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night. ---Darryl F. Zanuck, Head of 20th Century Fox, 1946
