- I have reflected on learning by sharing information with others.
Reflecting on Your Learning
Now that you have learned more about ISearch, how to use it to build or supplement curriculum, and how to teach students to use it, answer the following questions:
- What part of this class and the activities was most helpful in your understanding of the topic? Why?
- What part of this class, the activities, or the materials could be better? What would you do to improve it? Why?
- What was the most important thing you learned from this class? What makes it important to you?
Extend the Learning
Now that you have completed the training, make sure the learning doesn't stop. Once you have used ISearch to build or supplement curriculum and taught students how to use ISearch for research, evaluate those experiences. Consider these questions:
- What worked/didn't work? How will you replicate the success or correct the problem the next time you use ISearch?
- What did you discover about your teaching style from teaching students how to use digital text or use ISearch?
- What are two pieces of advice you would give to a colleague who is looking for digital content to supplement curriculum?
