Integration Activities/Strategies to Support CSIP |
|
Develop
information literacy using electronic resources
that support content in the classroom and strengthen
student understanding.
| Student
success often depends on an ability to
gather information, evaluate that information,
make meaning from it and share the information
in another format. School media centers,
computer labs, and classroom computers
can be used by students in the process
of gathering and evaluating information.
Electronic resources can be used to teach
students these skills while gaining information
in content areas. There are excellent
online resources to facilitate the instruction
of information literacy. |

Ideas for reinforcing Information Literacy:
Use
UEN resources to help students develop Information
Literacy. Pioneer, Utah's Online Library, includes
almanacs, encyclopedias, periodicals, research journals,
etc. All resources on Pioneer are searchable. Many
of the sites include teacher guides and student
workbooks. Teachers can help students improve information
literacy using these resources to gather information
in all academic areas.

include student manuals that teach researching skills.
