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.
