Students will learn the research process by researching an African American Hero. They will use the Oregon Library Information System's 4 step process:1. Plan2. Find3. Create4. Present

With so much information at our fingertips, students learn what it means to "give credit" when using content they find online. Taking on the role of a detective, students learn why it's important to give credit and the right ways to do it when they use words, images, or ideas that belong to others.

In this introduction to plagiarism and good digital citizenship, second graders are encouraged to give credit to people whose work they reference when doing projects.

Although written for second grade, this lesson could be easily adapted to upper primary and even middle school levels.

The post-pandemic era presents significant challenges in education, especially in technology integration. The Flexible Teaching Solution for Exploring Technological Literacy Challenges addresses these issues by emphasizing the importance of technological literacy and proposing effective solutions. Teachers face challenges such as limited technology access and proficiency, pedagogical adaptation, and the need for professional development. Students encounter difficulties with technology access, digital skills, self-regulation, motivation, equity, and inclusion. To overcome these challenges, investments in infrastructure, professional development, and inclusive policies are crucial. Blended learning, integrating face-to-face and online instruction, is a potential solution. Implementing the flexible teaching approach involves using various technology tools and platforms, open educational resources, and digital assessments. This dynamic learning environment fosters 21st-century skills in students.

The post-pandemic era has led to changes in education, with technology playing a vital role. Teachers and students face challenges related to technological literacy. To address these challenges, investing in infrastructure, providing professional development, and developing digital skills in students are important. Blended learning, incorporating face-to-face and online activities, is a potential solution. Theories like constructivism and Bloom's Taxonomy can guide teaching. Flexible approaches such as project-based learning and the flipped classroom, along with technology tools and resources, support technology literacy. Implementing these approaches empowers students with skills for the digital age.
