You are invited to join our new Information Fluency Group on The TeacherLibrarian Ning.
21CIF has joined forces with Joyce Valenza and the TeacherLibrarian SNing to build a professional social networking group for educators interested in information fluency, educational technology and library media studies. This is a way for us to talk, share ideas, and exchange resources. Help us help you!
Join this discussion about what prevents you from connecting with others outside your classroom or library.
Let's share some best practices with each other. If you've got a 'tried and true' method, process, plan or idea share it with us please! We're particluarly interesting in what works in your classroom or library.
Think of this as an online reference desk where you can ask (and answer) your questions about information fluency. Any topic in our realm is fair game. Need help with the Resource Kit? Curious about the learning games? Looking for a lesson idea? Feel free to ask.
Also, share your own wisdom. If you see a question you can answer, jump in!
