Layers of Information: Teaching Search Strategies in Stages
Becky Todd

 
During this session, participants will learn to teach research; providing students with relevant and trustworthy sites, then moving to the final stage of independent and effective research. This is a hands-on workshop; participants are asked to bring a device (laptop, tablet, phone) and a topic for an upcoming unit (e.g., solar system, fiction versus non-fiction, Hanukkah, etc.) for practice during the session. This session is recommended for librarians, classroom teachers in grades 3 and up (General and Judaic), and teachers looking to move to an inquiry-based model.
 
Becky Todd is a Librarian/Media Specialist who is currently working towards her Master’s degree in Digital Education Leadership. Becky’s first Master’s degree in Library and Informational Science was an online program that provided her with the opportunity to experience online learning from a student perspective. In her role as librarian, Becky collaborates with faculty to integrate 21st century learning skills into what the students are already learning in the classroom. She has worked to digitize the library's resources by developing a library website, blog and social networking presence.
