12 But let’s look behind the scenes…

13 And sometimes, our students expend a disproportionate amount of e-effort over knowledge-building. (BIG INPUT > LITTLE OUTPUT> And sometimes, our students expend a disproportionate amount of e-effort over knowledge-building. (BIG INPUT > LITTLE OUTPUT>

41 Sharing Our Lens Our To-Do List with Staff

42 Your Staff Meeting To-Do List Database Review: – Be pragmatic: don’t talk “expert resources” vs. “amateur” – Differentiation – Efficiency

43

44 I just wanna I like me some

45 Your Staff Meeting To-Do List Tour Google Tools – Search Strategies – Wonderwheel – Timeline – News – RSS Feeds – Reader – Scholar – Books

46 Quick Google Strategies: A 5’ Staff Mtg. Demo Better searches – More words. Then again, fewer words. – Synonyms/keywords: pull from expert resources – Quotation marks Better scanning of results – Personal Web sites (~) – Domain extensions – Think before you click (remember dial-up?)

47 Your Staff Meeting To-Do List Stop Demonizing Wikipedia – Emphasize history, citations, reading level

48 Wikipedia: A 5’ Overview 8 of 10 college students say they use it (Project Information Literacy, 2010) College kids look to TEACHERS to identify good sources and to LIBRARIANS for navigation strategies Wikipedia’s editors are down 20,000 from its peak (USA Today) Is crowd-sourcing still working?

49 Wikipedia: Sticking My Neck Out They use it … but should they? And for what? Beware information overload – Average picture book: less than 800 words – Giraffe Wikipedia entry: 3150 words, 12 single- spaced pages Giraffe Wikipedia entry

50 Wikipedia: Sticking My Neck Out The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species, and the largest ruminant.

51 Giraffe African even-toed ungulate mammal tallest of all land-living animal species largest ruminant. I have no idea what that means. Hope the teacher doesn’t notice.

52 Wikipedia: Sticking My Neck Out History tab – Who has edited? – What can you learn about authors’ expertise? Readability – Under MOB > Word Options > Proofing (enabled by default) – Run spell-check – comes up in summary at end – Or http://www.online- utility.org/english/readability_test_and_improve.jsphttp://www.online- utility.org/english/readability_test_and_improve.jsp

55 So what’s it good for? – Pop culture – Mentor text: citations at bottom – Gathering basic keywords

56 Your Staff Meeting To-Do List Refocus the citation conversation

57 Citation Why? – Track student resources and thinking – Credit those whose work you’ve used – Help others extend their research by following your tracks – Cite non-clip art images! What? – Easybib.com, NoodleTools, or Bibme.com Worry less about format, more about citizenship

58 Your Staff Meeting To-Do List Mantra to Staff: Lead with the Learning Need, Not the Technology

59 Final Takeaways Make thoughtful choices: mix protein with the candy You are your building’s tech leader Use your MLIS- developed critical eye Be focused on learning, not tools Reinforce savvy use of resources Go deeper!
