We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming debut of "What Will I Find? Introducing and Modeling Online Search." This eagerly anticipated module is the final part in our series on information literacy with media literacy scholar David Cooper Moore. It aims to equip librarians and educators with the tools necessary to safeguard learners from misinformation while fostering an environment of healthy skepticism.
Participants will gain insights into:
-
Slowing Down the Search Process: Techniques to help learners critically assess the information they encounter online.
-
Exploring Beyond Google: Alternative search prompts and tools that offer diverse and credible sources of information.
-
Modeling the Search Process: Demonstrative methods for educators to teach effective online searching skills.
In an era where misinformation is rampant, equipping learners with robust search skills is crucial. This module not only aims to foster critical thinking but also empowers learners to become discerning consumers of information.
