[CASL-L] Non computer research skills ideas

[Chris Barlow]

Hi everyone,
I just found out today that my library is in fact being used for testing starting this week. 
Since I am teaching scheduled classes this year the initial indication was that it wasn’t going to be used, but we all know what happens when you assume something.
There are going to be several days when I will have to take some of these classes elsewhere, but where is still to be determined.
Wherever that may be, I know I will not have computer access, other than whatever one is connected to the Smart Board in that room (at least I’m hoping I have that much).
The classes I teach are called Research Media, which is basically teaching them (7th grade) research skills, web evaluation, etc.
I have a few ideas for lessons, although they are primarily designed for individual or at least small group use on the computers. I think they can be modified for individuals to come up and work off the Smart Board.
However, I could use any other ideas that you’ve done yourselves, even if it’s just working off hard copies of assignments or being able to modify a computer based lesson.
At least one of the classes is an Honors class, so for the most part, they seem to be fairly savvy. Another class, however, is a collaborative group.
Thanks in advance.
