This module is part of the Foundations of School Librarianship on using web resources to enhance learning and build collections. It describes a process by which the school librarian and teacher will collaborate on a high school-level project to explore how researchers are using social media to promote and distribute their research findings. This presents a great opportunity for science teachers and school librarians to tap into high school students' enthusiasm for social media in a constructive and educational way. It also provides opportunities for school librarians to collaborate with teachers on developing or enhancing students information evaluation skills. And finally, the days of speaking of collection development as a library activity that means adding physical volumes to the collection may be over. Rather, we speak of developing access to quality resources that enhance learning. Social media sites that provide free access to quality research data supports the concept of promoting Open Educational Resources (OERs).

This is a brief introduction for College-Level ESL students on how to use sources in their writing.

Antarctica weather can change quickly. Weddell seal field researchers work in all kinds of weather--sometimes mild and beautiful, sometimes windy and challenging. All in a good day's field work with the Montana State University Weddell seal research team working in the Erebus Bay area of Antarctica's Ross Sea. Video production by Mary Lynn Price. Additional footage by Jessica Farrer. More information at http://WeddellSealScience.com.

This Remote Learning Plan was created by Joanna Pruitt as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for Grades 9-12 English Language Arts students. Students will learn the research process and how to write a research paper. It is expected that this Remote Learning Plan will take students 4-5 weeks to complete.

This article provides an overview of the free online tool VoiceThread and discusses how elementary teachers might use it in language arts and science classes. Resources provided.

Il volume rappresenta la tappa finale della prima stagione di implementazione del Progetto ABACUS (giugno 2019 - settembre 2020), sostenuta dal finanziamento pubblico garantito dalla Regione Siciliana e dalla Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri. In tal senso, la pubblicazione raccoglie sia una sezione di materiali di discussione critica sul percorso progettuale e sui primi esiti maturati, sia una ricca parte di contributi tematici offerti da referenti istituzionali, studiosi ed esperti, docenti accademici e ricercatori, professionisti e rappresentanti di organismi del Terzo settore Sono state così affrontate ed esaminate differenti tematiche e problematiche socio-culturali e socio-economiche, e prospettive e approcci metodologico-operativi tra loro affini e convergenti, che si sviluppano a cavallo delle politiche sociali, giovanili e culturali, della progettazione sociale e culturale, dell'innovazione sociale e della diversità culturale, in differenti contesti socio-territoriali siciliani e italiani, con una particolare attenzione per quelle iniziative che rappresentano casi paradigmatici in cui le istanze istituzionali, della ricerca, dell'educazione e della formazione si incontrano con le aspettative dei pubblici differenziati e, specialmente, delle giovani generazioni, anche sull'orizzonte della innovazione dell'occupazione giovanile.

The primary sources in this set can
be used for inquiry-based learning exercises
and projects. Each document falls under the
umbrella topic of voter education, and students
are encouraged to annotate in the margins in order
to support the development of document analysis
and critical thinking skills. Suggested projects that
make use of this set’s primary sources are also
included for the educator as a springboard for
research-based projects.

It’s fake! It’s amazing! It isn’t real! That’s right: you choose the topic; you create the quotations and the sources. You make up the names of the authors and the names of their books. The content of this paper is a creative writing assignment.

What isn’t creative is the form you use. The paper will get you ready for the form and process of your first research paper by allowing you to practice and/or review APA format and structure. You’ll practice formatting the paper following APA guidelines, using parenthetical citations, providing an alphabetized reference page, and integrating quotes correctly.

Scoring Guidelines for a "Fake Research" Paper assignment. This scores students in elements, mechanics, and content of the paper.

Weekly Objectives:

Week 1 Objective: Students will recognize how social, cultural, and personal identities shape perceptions of the course content and projects, and they will evaluate research guides to prepare for the first project.

Week 2 Objective: Students will evaluate sample research guides together as the first step to creating their own pages in the guide. They will also evaluate sources and produce annotations for those sources.

Week 3 Objective: Students will apply what they have learned about interviewing and from their research to create interview questions for the documentary. They will also construct a draft of their research guide page.

This activity helps students evaluate their own authority on a particular subject so that they can begin to understand how authority is created and effectively evaluate the authority of other sources they encounter. Additional evaluation criteria is also introduced.

The student created, student managed Kiski Area Veterans Website, established in 2016, showcases local veterans stories while honing Biographical Research skills. Combining Gigapan Technology with the power of G-Suite, photos of local monuments are uploaded to our site, serving as the foundation bringing students closer to local Veterans while encouraging community involvement in our curriculum.

Brief video explaining the benefits of using Open Educational Resources (OER) as opposed to commercial resources. Research shows that students perform as well or better when using OER.

An animated presentation explaining the basic concept of a subject heading. Created in MS Powerpoint (version 2205), it can be edited to add your own content or branding. Can also be exported to video, see example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HmkaMd_lgoScrIpt for narration is found in the notes section of each slide.

The growing number of electronics that are becoming obsolete is staggering. The responsible disposal of these materials remains to be a highly debated topic and is one that does not have an easy answer. In this problem-based learning module, students will research this growing issue and provide them opportunities to determine what actions to take. Students will then take their findings and use their research data as evidence to support their position. Groups will create a finished product in the form of a speech, radio broadcast, presentation or persuasive essay to help solve this problem.

NASA Astronaut Kjell Lindgren discusses what's new in research on the orbiting laboratory.

Pop quiz: When does learning begin? Answer: Before we are born. Science writer Annie Murphy Paul talks through new research that shows how much we learn in the womb — from the lilt of our native language to our soon-to-be-favorite foods.

This problem-based learning module is designed to bring “Awareness” to students about being judgemental and pre-judging people.  Students will become aware of their own judgmental issues and develop a presentation that will bring awareness to their audience on the topic.    This module is developed with instruction based on whole group discussions, station rotations, partner research as well as final presentation. This module is created with the ELA standards of W.7.6, W.7.2 , SL.7.1 and the history standard of 7.16 as the focus.
