Comments on 21rst Century Info. Fluency Home Page

I'm reading the article from Session 4 entitled "21rst Century Information Fluency". It' s partly an advertisement for a self-paced online course on finding online information. It only costs $29 and sounds really good! I might try it at some point. (Is this the same as the "Investigative Searching 20/10" course that the article mentions? It cites statistics that in just 8 hours or so, participants noticeably improved (statistically significant changes) their ability to locate information online. Cool!

You can preview the course by logging in as "guest". I'll do that when I'm not so tired.

I followed a link to a blog post about ways to provide elementary students with search experiences that are well suited to helping them develop their skills. I think I'll put this in a new blog entry, though.
