[LM_NET] SEC, MID: Teaching Internet Searching and Web Site Evaluation

[Joanne Shawhan <jshawhan@NYCAP.RR.COM>]

Dear Group,

Both as part of a required professional development plan and to improve my library 
program, I am designing lessons to teach my high school students how to search more 
effectively and how to evaluate sites, including Wikipedia.  I am also going to 
include a teacher education component.

I will need lessons that can be taught briefly and/or on the fly.  My teachers 
won't give me much class time to teach the kids.  (They are all crazed about State 
tests.)  My students don't know much about information literacy, despite their 
thinking they are computer expersts.  I will be working with the AASL standards.

All suggestions for lesson ideas etc for kids and teachers welcome.

Thanks,

Joanne
