Online Databases May 2, 2015 Tim Swann

Introductions  Who are you?  (grade/subject/fun fact)  What do you want to get out of today’s workshop?

The Journey

Goals Compare/contrast online databases with websites. Identify and describe online AACPS databases useful for you and your students. Identify how to use databases to differentiate reading choices. Design & share a lesson seed you can use this year.

Plan of Action Compare/Contrast databases with websites & ebooks Tour databases- identify useful ones & look for differentiation Independent exploration Break Time!!! Design your own activity. Summary/Exit

What’s the difference?

Websites Written by anyone Content is not necessarily reviewed Don’t have complete citation info Aren’t organized to support a student’s research May not indicate when they’re updated ‘It’s the wild, wild west.’‘It’s the wild, wild west.’

Library Databases Get their information from professionals or experts in the field. Contain published works where facts are checked. Easy to cite in a bibliography and may create the citation for you. Can help you narrow your topic or suggest related subjects. Updated frequently and include the date of publication. Source: Databases vs. Websites." Hennepin County Library. Hennepin County Library, Web. 30 Mar

Ebooks – personal & institutional Digital files Sometimes exact copies with photos, etc. May be downloadable – like Nook, Kindle, iBook files One copy or simultaneous access? Often hosted on publisher platforms Can be more expensive At most AACPS schools AACPS still investigating system-wide fiction platform

Why not? Advantages FAST!!!! Wikipedia (surprisingly reliable) What kids do at home & on a cell/tablet Current info can be found after a bit… Disadvantages (think: instruction) Content sometimes objectionable Not teaching research skills currency, authoritativeness, etc. Ads proliferate

Databases are ….. by keywords, subject, author, title, publication title, date, etc.

Databases have ….. magazine and newspaper articles, encyclopedias and reference books

Databases provide ….. author, title of article, publication (magazine, newspaper, or book), publisher, date, etc..

Databases have ….. From science to history to biography, current events to general reference

Databases have ….. Created with students/researchers in mind. Print, save or an entire article depending on the rights. *Most of the time…..
