by Educational technology is an area I still have a lot of interest in, so I thought I’d share a couple of new resources I’ve run into that I think might have some potential for info lit classes.
A Google a day – Google offers a question to search each day that will highlight techniques and tips for searching Google more effectively. I think it would be neat to incorporate this into a class – offer a few, see how fast students can find the answers and discuss the techniques they used.
Barkles – I will admit, I haven’t had much chance to play with this but it interested me. I have run a debate in a class (we were discussing copyright). I think this might be a neat way to continue the debate outside the class, although I’m betting that clear policies on what is appropriate behaviour may be needed.
