ETAP623 : Unit 4 - Modifying an Information Literacy Lesson Plan (Wrap-Up)
This page last changed on Jan 23, 2008 by wikiadm1.
Wrap-Up
Unit 4 brought the lessons from Units 1, 2, & 3 together to show how KB can work with an existing Information Literacy lesson. An lesson plan that has been used in a College Freshman Information Literacy class was taken and adapted as could be used in a KB/KF environment. While only the general outline of the lesson could be detailed in this wiki (since the main characteristic of KB is a student-driven online environment) the basic principles needed to adapt a lesson have been presented for use by media specialists/librarians, and other educators.
Reflection
Please take a few minutes to reflect on what you learned in Unit 4:
Consider the issues that a teacher must take into consideration before utilizing KF in the classroom. Can you think of a particular lesson plan that you currently use that can be changed to take advantage of the unique features of KF? If not, can you think of a subject with which you'd like to experiment in this environment?
Take the lesson or a new one and write a revised preliminary lesson that will be used in KF.
Knowledge Forum® offers (in limited quantity) the ability to use a database on a free-trial basis for a six-month time period. If you are able to take advantage of this offer, please use the lesson to trial the database in a classroom situation.
Add your revised/new lesson to this wiki if desired.
