An easy-to-adapt digital breakout. I used it mainly to see how my 6th grade students constructed a search. Watching them work and analyzing the results on the Google Form gave me some insight into how I can help them become better researchers. Via Mary Reilley Clark, Elizabeth E Charles

Earlier in the school year I taught 6th graders a short lesson about search strategies. I never like these stand alone lessons, as I don't think much sticks with a student if they're not immediately using it for a project. For their following library visit, I wanted to see what they remembered and how they'd use it. I created a digital breakout on Sites with a Form to collect their answers. Some things I learned after doing this with about 600 students:
These questions were not true research questions, yet were still difficult for students to answer. My emphasis for the rest of the year, including some things that resonated from a great search webinar by Michelle Luhtala and Tasha Bergson-Michelson will include the following:
I always tell students Google features can be like speed dates--here for a bit, then gone. Use all the features you can find to improve your search, but don't think they'll always be around. The things I want them to remember--especially thinking critically and persevering in a search-- are probably safe for a long-term commitment! Marry the strategies; date the tools!

Teaching Google Scholar in your library instructional sessions can increase students' information and digital literacy skills. Students' familiarity with Google Scholar's interface works to the instructor's advantage and allows more time to address students' information needs and teach foundational information literacy skills and less time teaching a new database with a less-intuitive database interface. Teaching Google Scholar: A Practical Guide for Librarians will illustrate instructional methods and incorporate step-by-step guides and examples for teaching Google Scholar. It begins with providing you with essential background:What Google Scholar isHow to set up Google Scholar using OpenURLHow to design Google Scholar instructional sessionsHow to incorporate active learning activities using Google ScholarAfter reading it, you will be ready to teach students critical skills including how to:Use specific Google Scholar search operatorsIncorporate search logicExtract citation data, generate citations, and save citations to Google's My Library and/or a citation management programUse Google Scholar tools- including 'cited by,' 'alerts,' 'library links,' and 'library search'Google Scholar is a powerful research tool and will only become more popular in the coming years. Learning how to properly teach students how to utilize this search engine in their research will greatly benefit them in their college career and help promote life-long learning. Google Scholar instruction is a must in today's modern information literacy classroom. Via Elizabeth E Charles

Information literacy is the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information and is the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines, learning environments, and education levels. It enables learners to master content, extend their investigations, become more self-directed, and to take greater control of their own learning. Via Elizabeth E Charles, Anne Versonne

As Project DELILA prepares to come to a close, Jane Secker writes about how the project has aided the development of new and innovative teaching methods and has embedded digital and information literacy… Bringing together librarians, educational developers and learning technologists from a range of institutions, Project DELILA has proven the potential and value that digital and informational literacy can have for higher education teaching. The Developing Educators Learning and Information Literacies for Accreditation Project (DELILA) is part of a series of projects to release a set of open educational resources (OER) and has focussed on releasing materials relating to digital and information literacy that are suitable for use in teacher accreditation programmes in higher education.

In the past year, many educational institutions began to address the challenge of digital misinformation. As head of a multi-institutional projectthat addresses these issues, I found this heartening. Less encouraging, however, was the persistence of many myths about how misinformation works, what its risks are and how we might address it. In the hope we might have a more productive 2019, I thought I’d outline some of those myths and realities below. Via Elizabeth E Charles

“Digital literacy involves finding, using and disseminating information in a digital world” (Deakin University, 2016). Digital literacy is also a transversal skill, which means that by having good digital literacy, a person’s ability to learn and improve other skills increases through the use of technology.

The ways in which we conduct research and organize research have changed significantly over the last couple of decades. When many of us were in middle school and high school our research options were limited to books and periodicals available through our local libraries. Our organization of our research was done mostly in notebooks or perhaps in a desktop document. Via Elizabeth E Charles, Lynnette Van Dyke
