Free 21st Century Information Fluency Resources

[Dennis O'Connor]

Free!

You'll find these links to all of our recent Resource Kit work at: http://21cif.imsa.edu/rkit/rkit_indices.html

We've also created a Eurekster based Swicki (personal search engine) to help you search our resources!

Let us know what you like, and don't like? We're looking for suggestions and ready to create new games and resources. 8) ~Dennis

These resources are excellent, and I have used them in my Junior High classes (grades 6-8).

Terrific Brenda,

Can you share how you use the resources? I'm always interested in how kids interact with the materials.

I haven't actually been able to observe students working with the flash based games. I'd love to see that!

Dennis, I used the resources from the Internet Power Searcing workshop I attended at ICE. They enjoyed the games, especially the one with the gold coins. Some of the wanted to compete at lower grade levels so they could win (!), and others enjoyed competing at higher grade levels for the challenge. I will be using this earlier in the year now that I know about it since Junior HIgh does use the Internet for research frequently.

If you'd like to see it in action, you are welcome to come and visit us!

Thank you for the gracious invitation Brenda. I may be coming to Illinois this fall and perhaps we can connect! (I work at a distance, teaching online and designing content.)

Hi Dennis,
I love what you are doing! How can we pare these units down for elementary-aged students - grades 3-5? I would love to have units available like this for my students.
