More Reliable Online Resources - Thing #14

Four of the MILP members and I have formed an Information Literacy Professional Learning Committee (PLC) this year at our school. Last week we met for an update. All four have been using the ROR sites, including databases, but additionally have now introduced their students to the world of reliable online public library and textbook links. Through the direction of these teachers, students are poking around in the St. Paul Public Library's Contemporary Literary Criticism database, the Smithsonian, Library of Congress and McDougal Littel websites. Our students are delving even further into that big online world beyond Google.

About Me

Having gone back to school nearly every fall since 1955 either as a student, teacher or library media specialist, I find myself somewhere entirely new: in the unchartered land of the retired. I'm hoping this blog will help me find my legs. Well I guess someone else's legs would be better considering....
