Library class this month was focused on an amazing resource called Checkology. This platform breaks the art of evaluating information into six categories. Each of these categories is presented, practiced and reviewed using clips, articles and images from current events & happenings. Students are doing really well with the content and I see their evaluation skills improving.
I decided to test a purpose lesson on the elementary students. They did fairly well, but I didn’t have a chance to continue the lesson throughout the month. I hope to revisit the topic at a later time.
The Educational Technology Board is tasked with writing a comprehensive technology plan for all schools. We are so far behind, and so disconnected from ‘typical’ schools it has been difficult to find a starting place. I decided to contact other 853 schools to see what they are doing with technology. So far, no luck with anything helpful. There is one school, Green Chimneys, that I hope to contact, as their website seems to show technology fully integrated into their programs.
