Teaching Information Skills in Secondary Schools
The need to equip the 'Google generation' with effective information literacy skills was highlighted recently in a report by JISC and the British Library. This workshop aims to address this issue at school level by exploring effective methods of embedding information literacy within the curriculum and providing practical guidance in developing pupil's information literacy.
Topics:
- Information literacy and the teaching challenge
- Effective delivery of information skills teaching
- Case studies and examples of good practice
- Embedding information skills into the curriculum
- Staff development within schools
Who is it for?
This workshop is aimed at teachers and librarians who are interested in exploring the best ways to deliver information skills in schools. The workshop is particularly relevant to those responsible for staff development or training, as materials from this workshop will be made available as a cascade training pack.
Participants should be teachers or librarians interested in developing their skills in delivering information literacy teaching. Participants need no special technical skills, but for the hands-on sessions they will find it helpful to have had some experience of using a web browser.
By the end of the workshop participants will have:
- Discussed practical tips and hints on incorporating information literacy into lessons
- Explored a range of existing examples and case studies of information skills delivery
- Used and adapted sample teaching activities
- Received guidance on using the cascade training materials
