Information Literacy Screencast for Educators - Duration: 4:31.

Hello fellow educators

Today I'm going to talk to you about

Information literacy for our gullible student readers

who believes everything on the internet

Yup, we've all seen it happen.

So what is information literacy?

Well, although there is no set definition of information literacy

American Library Association define it as

(read quote above)

So it's basically sets of skills to

purposefully gather and use information we obtain

So why should we teach evaluating educational websites?

Anyone can add information on the website

without credibility or accuracy now

Great examples are Wikipedia, blogs, youtube, etc.

So with everyone contributing something on the internet

students today are now faced with

having too much information to gather from

So what should we do?

We should equip students with

"Research strategies, authorship, and meaning making."

So help students filter

and gather meaningful information

This is a funny cartoon I found

We've all seen it happen

We teach students about digital citizenship

That is one issue here

But sometimes students believe everything on the internet

over what the teacher teaches

So how do we evaluate websites?

As Bob Ross says, practice

So here is an unfortunate but easy way

to remember how to evaluate websites

The C.R.A.A.P. Test

C for currency

So dates and references

R for relevance

So look at the url, the title, are the images

and all those things related to the information you need?

A for Authority

Who is/are the authors?

Do they have any credentials?

Or are they provided on the website somewhere?

A for Accuracy

Are the evidences provided verifiable?

Are there any biase?

Are there any grammatical or technical errors?

and P for Purpose

What, why, who is the intended audience?

Are they writing to sell something?

To inform something?

Or are they making an argment to make a point?

Now, there is no one way of evaluating websites

The C.R.A.A.P. test was one of them

There are other features that you can consider

such as functionality

And the article on the ABCs of Website Evaluation

Goes from all the way from A to Z

and does a great job with all the other features as well

Such as graphics, navigability, and requirements

Like technical requirements

And at the end of this slide

I also have a link to another one called

the DISCOVER test

that you can also check out

So how do we promote information literacy?

How can we transfer our evaluating skills

to a student who may have a harder time

differentiating between facts from fiction?

Here are some lesson ideas

In the beginning

select the websites for students to practice

Have them practice using

the Jigsaw website evaluation reading

So have them work in groups

and present it in the group

why and how they evaluated it

It could be a Gallery Walk

Have students work with a group

and have that group present to other groups in the class

Or it could simply be a weekly news article

But instead of just presenting the article

evaluate the websites first

And with more skills

have students engaged in research-based lessons

Have students evaluate them

before actually gathering information

from those websites

A great way to submit those could be

just a worksheet or a Google Form

Here are additional websites

The S.O.S. for information literacy

does a great job with examples

of specific lesson plans

for different grade levels and subjects

Please check it out
