twitter for teacher-librarians

special thanks to Kathy Rice for taking the time to prepare and deliver an excellent overview of twitter for teacher-librarians at our recent PGDLTA meeting. I'll continue to explore ways to maximize this tool.

safely, efficiently and respectfully navigating the information highway

it's now time to think about a comprehensive unit plan that explores all the elements of safety, fluency and efficiency in dealing with learners in  the information age.The next step will be to explore where and how  this learning needs to be embedded into the curriculum. Currently, we're pretty hit or miss with ensuring that students get exposure to these issues - Internet safety is included as part of  PE 8 - some other assignments contain a section on evaluating website information. I'll be exploring both a comprehensive plan and a well-tooled implementation strategy.
