We will take a break from podcasting and blogging as we focus on research and data. You may or may not remember your tour of the BIS Library last year. Just a reminder- you did a scavenger hunt during ILT. There are two parts to our library; the actual, physical library and the “virtual” library. This virtual library consists of a collection of databases.
We will review not only the definition of a database, but take a quick tour of the library databases available to students at BIS. You will select a topic to research, find resources in these databases bookmark and tag the resources in your diigo accounts, and paraphrase or summarize information from these sources. The final outcome of this research will be a presentation using Google presentation as your tool. We will be reviewing important digital literacy skills during the next couple of weeks such as identifying reliability and credibility of sources. As well as primary and secondary sources. In addition, we will focus on correctly citing these sources using some helpful tools. This is all a part of providing you with the 21st century skills you will need to succeed in life!
