Planning for Curriculum Integration of Information Literacy Skills How and Why Sample Lesson Plan Sample Rubric for Assessment Curriculum Integration Information Processing Skills are to be integrated throughout subject curricula so learners can see the relationship of information usage to all fields and at all levels; All members of the school community share the responsibility for all learners; and The School Library media program facilitates delivery of core curriculum and the school improvement process. Outcomes for student information processing are not intended to be a stand-alone strand, but are intended to be integrated throughout the general curriculum. Students are then encouraged to be actively engaged in their own learning. Achieving a resource based learning environment is dependent on the creation of a partnership between the classroom teacher and the library media specialist. Both must be actively involved in planning, designing, and delivering joint lessons to teach information processing skills and both must be responsible for evaluating curriculum and assessing student progress. Lesson design begins as the classroom teacher and the library media specialist come together to identify the learning needs of students and develop teaching units together: Using the Information Processing Skills Lesson Plan Form as a guide, the following sections can be addressed: (see also

Teaching the Teachers: Information Literacy, Teaching Assistants, and First-Year Students Compiled by: Michelle Millet , Outreach Coordinator, and Sue Samson , Information Services Coordinator, Mansfield Library, 32 Campus Drive, The University of Montana, Missoula 59812 Introduction This information literacy program targets first-year students and their graduate student Teaching Assistants into a fully integrated learning environment. The learning environment not only imbeds information literacy into the curriculum of the required English Composition and Public Speaking courses but relies on the Teaching Assistants to provide the instruction within the framework of their classes. This model requires a high degree of collaboration between teaching librarians, Teaching Assistants and faculty coordinators to create a learning environment that is student centered. Ongoing assessment has been used to modify the program based on effective learning outcomes. Information Literacy Program Goals Learn about, locate in the library, and use basic reference sources.

Jay Rosen See the Weblogs in education video RSS Quick Start Guide for Ed. v. 1.5 Tuesday, July 12, 2005 Wikipedia Lesson Plan (via David Warlick ) Andy Carvin comes up with lesson plan that gets the most out of the unverifiableness of Wikipedia . Bottom line, use it to teach the type of information literacy skills we should be applying to much of what we read these days: Here's a quick scenario. Take a group of fifth grade students and break them into groups, with each group picking a topic that interests them. Any topic. Dolphins, horses, hockey, you name it. Next, send the groups of kids to Wikipedia to look up the topic they selected. Chances are, someone has already created a Wikipedia entry on that particular subject. The horse, for example, has an extensive entry on the website. It certainly looks accurate and informative, but is it? Unfortunately, there are no citations for any of the facts claimed about horses on the page. This is where it gets fun. The group of students breaks down the content on the page into manageable chunks, each with a certain amount of facts that need to be verified. The students then spend the necessary time to fact-check the content. As the students work their way through the list, they'll find themselves with two possible outcomes: either they'll verify that a particular factoid is correct, or they'll prove that it's not. Either way, they'll generate a paper trail, as it were, of sources proving the various claims one way or another.

It is built upon principles of instructional design, psychology, information science and communications. Although neither linear nor strictly sequential, determination of Purpose and Audience is considered a critical prerequisite to effective Content and Technique development. Brief descriptions of each of the four components of the model and related factors are provided. An example of IM-PACT's application to a high school-level information skills lesson plan, collaboratively designed by the teacher-librarian and English teacher, is provided. Introduction We all know that teaching activities can consume a significant portion of the teacher-librarian's day. Those activities can range from one-on-one teaching to group training, offered to a variety of learning audiences. Instruction may vary from curriculum-integrated information skills units for students to technology workshops for teachers to presentations about library programs to parent organizations, school boards, or professional meetings or conferences.

Assessment of Information Literacy: Lessons from the Higher Education Assessment Movement Lois M. Pausch, Geology Librarian and Associate Professor of Library Administration University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Mary Pagliero Popp, Electronic Services Librarian Indiana University Bloomington ABSTRACT Assessment in institutions of higher education is being driven by demands for accountability from legislators, trustees, and accrediting agencies. These assessment efforts are now expanding to library instruction programs. The library literature, however, reveals few rigorous efforts to evaluate the teaching of information literacy concepts and skills. Objective methods are being developed in many teaching disciplines, resulting in a body of research and descriptions of effective evaluation methods. Instruction librarians need to investigate these to determine which of them might be adopted/adapted for use in libraries. This paper reviews higher education assessment methods; identifies useful theories and practices; describes assessment programs in academic libraries; and makes recommendations for changes in library education and for future research. Introduction Assessment is a hot topic in higher education today, resulting in a plethora of books and journal articles. There are as many definitions of assessment as there are authors, but essentially it is the process of determining how well an educational system functions and improving parts of it as necessary.

Back A Free and Open Press: Evaluating the Media Grade level: 10-12 Subjects: U.S. Government, Civics, Media Literacy Introduction Media literacy is the understanding of the structure and function of media messages and the organizations that create them. Broadly defined, media is a term for anything that communicates, such as books, magazines, computers, radio, film and television. Media literacy is the ability to interpret and create personal meaning from the hundreds, even thousands, of verbal and visual messages we are exposed to every day. The goal of media literacy education is to enable the individual to select, to challenge and question, and to use media actively and consciously for one's own purposes. Young people are living in a media-rich environment where they receive most of their information and entertainment through the electronic media of television, radio, and the Internet, but also from newspapers, magazines, and film. Media literacy education helps students to critically evaluate the incredible variety of information to which they are exposed, to understand the power and influence of the media, and to become informed, discriminating and active media consumers.
