Subject: [aaslforum] Free eBook: Information Literacy in the Wild
Dear Colleagues,
The students of the University of Michigan's SI 641 / EDCURINS 575: Information Literacy for Teaching and Learning are pleased to announce the digital publication of INFORMATION LITERACY IN THE WILD, a compilation of essays reflecting their field experiences in public libraries, K-12 libraries, K-12 classrooms, college classrooms (online and face-to-face), academic libraries, museums, and more.
We hope you will enjoy reading about our observations, projects, and conclusions. Here are some tidbits with which to tantalize you:
- how Lady Gaga's meat dress is an example of synthesis
- how an AP language teacher plans to teach an information literacy unit
- the importance of a lesson "hook"
- how to sneak an IL lesson into a tech lesson
- how a map can guide even the most experienced researchers
- bird unit sightings in public libraries ... and a physics classroom
- how the SCVNGR app can refresh and deepen
