Reliable Resources

I have been talking to my students a lot about reliable resources. They are gaining an understanding of what those mean and most of them chime in when I say "We need to make sure that are sources are what??? Reliable!" I also developed a "Source Sheet" where they keep track of their sources and include bibliographical info, an annotation, and an explanation of WHY they think that the source is reliable. Examples: the domain is .edu. It was on an online learning resource database.

Online Learning Resources

Last Tuesday Marilyn, our Library Media Specialist, team taught with me. She helped my class discover how to use the online card catalog and the online learning resources. It was a great experience! The students are working on a History Day project. The OLR's will help them to find reliable resources and primary documents, two of the cornerstone for History Day! Awesome!

Also, the students now have the website, connect.spps.org memorized! Yay!
