A further resource to support our discussion around HSIE and Information Skills has just come by my way the day before our next staff meeting on HSIE.
Chris Betcher’s regular podcast The Virtual Staffroom has a new episode that went up yesterday all about Information Literacy. He interviews a teacher librarian on the subject, raising and discussing some of the challenges of learning in the 21st Century and how to locate, select and critique information.
It is long for those not used to listening to podcasts, but it is good (in fact, I’m listening to it as I type). I recommend you listen to it. The link to the podcast is below, or if you’re an iTunes user, you can access/subscribe to the Virtual Staffroom through the iTunes store. I’ve also added a link to the podcast in our staff del.icio.us account.
