The 21CIF Project is piloting a new online class in Wisconsin called PowerSearching in a Web 2.0 world.

The pilot is now running with a small group. We'll gather data from the test run and refine (as always).

This is a Moodle based class that we hope to refine and make available across the country in the Fall. The course is open for Guest inspection. You can see how to use our flash games and micromodules in an online setting to teach searching, evaluating, and ethical use of digital materials.

Find it here: http://21cif.mrooms.net

See you online!

my poor neglected blog...the number of entries that have been written in my head...sigh.

My district is writing an information fluency curriculum this summer with the two librarians (Lake Placid is a VERY small district), two computer people and about 10 teachers. I know I will be referring to your project quite a bit since it enhances what we are already doing and want to focus.

Thanks for the inspiration! Sara

yes, integration is the best way it should happen, IMHO. I wish I could go to NECC this year to be in your workshop but will have to settle for online materials and workshops this year. ALA is at the exact same time and, as AASL prez-elect, I have to show up ;-D. I spent a little time this morning looking at the draft new standards for AASL and the NETS draft refreshed standards and, surprise, there is a lot of overlap--as there should be.

Hi Joan, I'm glad you found me here! Carl and I are launching an information fluency group here in TeacherLibrarianNing. Click groups and you'll see us! Why not join?

Anyone in our class who sets up an account, will get one of our newsletters announcing this. Perhaps that's the way you found us?

I can tell you're having fun in class!
