Teaching Information Skills in Secondary Schools
Date: Wed 30 April 2008
Venue: Newcastle university
FREE workshop
Most pupils are adept at using computers, but are they as adept at using information? Recent research suggests this is not the case and that the 'Google generation' need more guidance than ever in finding and evaluating information. Schools must also now encourage pupils to be 'independent enquirers' - this workshop will explore effective methods of teaching and embedding these skills across the curriculum. This workshop is aimed at teachers and librarians who are interested in exploring the best ways to deliver information skills in schools. It is particularly relevant to those responsible for staff development or training, as materials from this workshop will be made available as a cascade training pack.
