INSTRUCTION 2.0: What are we actually doing? - This survey looks at Association of Research Libraries' (ARL) instruction websites to identify... - Communications in Information Literacy Publication: Communications in Information LiteracyAuthor: Bobish, GregDate published: January 1, 2010 Librarians have written about and discussed web/library 2.0 tools, but the current state of adoption of the tools on instruction websites is tentative at best. As more successful examples are shared in the literature and at conferences, and as the technology and understanding of the tools matures, they will move from being something intimidating to being simply another color in the instruction paint box. Library 2.0 is an idea that grew out of the concept of Web 2.0 as envisioned by Tim O'Reilly and others. The Web 2.0 concept is defined by such terms as "web-as-platform," "perpetual beta," and "architecture of participation," and can be considered an "attitude, not a technology" (O'Reilly, 2005, p. 1). The heart of Library 2.0 is usercentered change. New technologies should not be implemented just because they exist. 1. 2. 3. a. b. Limitations of Research * Is it there? Is it there?

Project Information Literacy: A large-scale study about early adults and their research habits Literacy in the Digital Age: Five Sites With High-Quality Informational Text Editor’s Note: Teaching Channel has partnered with Student Achievement Partners on a blog series about digital literacy tools and their effective use by educators. One of the most exciting shifts in the Common Core State Standards is the increased use of content-rich, informational text. Let’s think about this. As professionals, how often do we read texts that are outside of our comfort zone? Preparing our students to be college- and career-ready is our priority. Below, we share five sites that will help you find these texts with ease and even differentiate the same article for the different learners in your room. 1. Newsela is an innovative way to build reading comprehension with nonfiction text that’s relevant. Newsela supports differentiation through interest and ability level. We’ve used Newsela with seventh grade students and saw a drastic improvement in their reading abilities. Text sets are another way to utilize Newsela. 2. 3. 4. Continue the Conversation

An Evaluation of Library Instruction Delivered to Engineering Students Using Streaming Video Jack M. Maness Engineering Reference and Instruction Librarian Gemmill Engineering Library University Libraries University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, Coloradojack.maness@colorado.edu Abstract This paper evaluates the use of streaming video applications in the delivery of information literacy instruction to engineering students. Introduction CAETE is the distance education entity of the University of Colorado's College of Engineering and Applied Science. The lectures are recorded using Tegrity software, a program that captures the lecturer's desktop, physical image via a digital camera, and audio of the classroom (see www.tegrity.com). Literature Review The use of streaming video technology is not new in librarianship, and while a fairly extensive literature regarding its feasibility exists (cost, technical requirements, etc.), little has been written on its viability (how users perceive and use it) and efficacy (how well it imparts instructional content). Methods Results Conclusion
How to Teach the 9 Themes of Digital Citizenship Infographic Teacher Infographics How to Teach the 9 Themes of Digital Citizenship Infographic Digital citizenship refers to how we conduct ourselves on the web. Teachers, parents, and leaders in technology help students to understand what it means to use technology in an appropriate and responsible way. With the advent of social media, this issue is becoming increasingly important, especially for today’s youth. Today, it’s important for students to understand the principles of being a good digital citizen, not only while they’re in school, but also as they move on to college or careers.DigitalCitizenship.net describes the “norms” of technology usage, or digital citizenship, by defining it in terms of nine themes: 1. Technology users need to be aware that not everyone has the same opportunities when it comes to technology. 2. Technology users need to understand that a large share of market economy is being done electronically. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Via: www.wherelearningclicks.com

Developing students' digital literacy The issue Even today’s students need support with some areas of digital practice, particularly in an academic context, so it’s important to make sure that these needs are met. While employability is an obvious driver, developing learners who can learn and thrive in a digital society is a key role for universities and colleges. We define digital literacies as the capabilities which fit someone for living, learning and working in a digital society. To help with thinking about this, we have outlined six elements for consideration, which can be seen in the following diagram. What you can do Below, we've summarised some of the steps you can take to improve your students' digital literacy. Review your support for digital literacies An audit is a good way of finding out who’s already working in this area and starting productive conversations with staff. To learn more about the behaviour and motivations of learners as they use the web, try our guide to evaluating digital services. Create a buzz
