What is Information Literacy and why is it so important? Join us to discover the value of dedicating classroom time to developing Information Literacy skills. We'll also introduce you to a fantastic tool in Microsoft Class Teams called Search Progress/Search Coach, designed to enhance students' information literacy. This tool allows educators to assign and monitor research projects while providing real-time guidance on crafting effective search queries and identifying trustworthy sources. It's a valuable resource for streamlining information literacy instruction. We'll share how we've utilized Search Progress/Search Coach in our classrooms for grades 3-5 and offer tips for using it in grades 6-12.
