Information Literacy Assignment - anyone have a suggestion?

Hi all! I have a class assignment to read articles on a topic relating to information literacy. What's hot these days in this area? The teacher gave several suggestions but I thought I'd put it out to you librarians to see what's on your minds these days too! Thanks for your input. MaryBeth

classroom videoconferencing advice

HelloI have 2 questions for you Web 2.0 people! I will be podcasting with 2 other teachers using Skype and a Smartboard. I need to purchase a Webcam. I am looking for recommendations for my purchase.

Greetings Mary,

I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Mike McQueen

Teacher Librarian at McLain HS

Lakewood, CO
