I agree, it's so important that students grow up learning about their digital footprints and how to cite valid and reliable sources from the Internet.<br /><br />Congratulations to your daughter for speaking at a conference at such a young age.

We teach a teen travel blogging class (http://www.wanderingeducators.com/intercultural-education/resources/wandering-educators-youth-travel-blogging-mentorship-program.html) and one of the most important classes, to me, is our class on online reputation management with Robyn Shulman, from EdNewsDaily. I do think, though that what you cover here is critical, and will be incorporating this into our curriculum. <br /><br />Our daughter (10) is speaking next week at a conference, on being a good digital citizen. I'll put this into her resource list. <br /><br />Thank you!Dr. Jessie Voigtshttp://www.wanderingeducators.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-5664165596508111022013-01-28T10:43:13.269-08:002013-01-28T10:43:13.269-08:00Tracy,

We sometimes forget what to teach students when getting on the internet how much information is out there and what information is useful and how do we know what sites have validity, credibility and reliability. This is an eye opener and modeling ways to use the internet from the information you provided will make things easier for everyone. I will use these resources as my class and I dig deeper into researching on the internet. <br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Marina RenzulliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-60266226809350685562013-01-27T12:20:27.646-08:002013-01-27T12:20:27.646-08:00Thanks, Jamie!

It made me wonder what that would look like at a 2nd/3rd grade level, and then voila, Linda Yollis wrote <a href="http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-is-plagiarism.html" rel="nofollow">a post</a> about it.<br /><br />I also agree that Diigo is such a strong tool for research, annotation, and collaboration. <br /><br />Thanks, Denise, for your encouragement and contribution!<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />TracyTracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-76446754894406646152013-01-23T17:53:02.795-08:002013-01-23T17:53:02.795-08:00Tracy,
As always, this post is so valuable. Thanks...Tracy,<br />As always, this post is so valuable. Thanks for sharing the posters about searching and validity and credibility. I will definitely be using these. <br /><br />One of my favorite strategies to help students do this important work is called "Read, Cover, Remember, Retell." It works better with print sources than web, but it goes like this. The student reads a paragraph or so of informational text (about a handful). Then they cover it with their hand, try to remember it and retell it. If they can't, they take a peek and keep trying. It's a precursor to doing research in my opinion. <br /><br />Sometimes I have students research for 2-3 periods and then the next day I have them write a first draft of their research with NO notes. I just want them to see how much and what kind of learning they really did. Then if they have a number or other details they need to look up, they can. I would rather have simple, real learning in their research than plagiarized regurgitation. <br /><br />This is such an important standard, in my opinion. "...paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and providing basic bibliographic information for sources." We also use Diigo to bookmark the sources where they get their research. Then it's easy to go back and make a Works Cited page from their bookmarks. <br /><br />Navigation is so tied into literacy today, and even more so in the future. We must be teaching it!<br /><br />Thanks again for a great post, Tracy!<br /><br />DeniseDenise Krebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00583406241247334445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-38736531401311587582013-01-21T08:57:30.971-08:002013-01-21T08:57:30.971-08:00Tracy,

I know your kiddos get exposure to this often. <br /><br />Although, I wonder how much time teachers have invested in this. For those who believed they didn't have time in the past with all the standards they had to teach, I hope the Common Core will change this so it becomes part of the curriculum and not viewed as an "add on."<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />TracyTracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-78264849105928621082013-01-07T18:59:02.957-08:002013-01-07T18:59:02.957-08:00Hi Theresa,
