SCDISCUS-Information Literacy

Thanks, Daniel, for your comment on my last posting! I enjoyed Ms. Thompson's class on SCDISCUS. Wow, I just loved all of the resources available and enjoyed using SCDISCUS to do last week's assignment. One website that I particularly enjoyed was http://galenet.galegroup.com/servlet/KidsInfoBits;jsessionid=7096198CAF552463740673AC47A34D1C?locID=scschools. I can tell that this is a website that will be extremely helpful as I gather information for my learning center. Another site that was very interesting is one that is showcased in Kathy Schrock's website from the National Institute for Health. This link is http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/sleep/starslp/. What I liked about this site is that it has lessons to explain to children why sleep is so very important. Will provide more information as I find it!

Website scrutiny

This posting is for my Information Literacy class. I enjoyed the assignment this week on scrutinizing websites. The RTYHospital website was very outrageous. I just giggled when I found out the designer was a filmmaker. This assignment certainly makes one view websites with a bit more skepticism. I think I will now approach most websites with a "show me" attitude.
