<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-60c0jkxeS9g/UAXNVtuvHBI/AAAAAAAAHRo/D311HYjtf6Q/s1600/scoopit2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-60c0jkxeS9g/UAXNVtuvHBI/AAAAAAAAHRo/D311HYjtf6Q/s1600/scoopit2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">What filters do you use when curating? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Here's a brief list that approximates my process.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
1. Re-scoop from my community. I trust the folks I follow and often find a few on topic articles in the scoops of others. <a href="http://www.scoop.it/">Scoop.it</a> encourages you to follow the work of other curators. It's easy to 're-scoop' articles selected by people you trust. This is one way that Scoop.it becomes a community of experts helping each other discover ideas and resources.<br />
<br />
2. Prismatic: <a href="http://getprismatic.com/">http://getprismatic.com/</a> This search aggregator is my 'go to' filter for new stories on all the topics I curate. Once you set up your areas of interest, Prismatic presents you with a long scrolling page of articles. I open them up, scan or read deeply then make the Scoop or No-Scoop decision<span style="line-height: 18px;">. </span><br />
<br />
3. Dig deeper into credible sites. There are many websites out there rich in content, These sites have archives of articles and many resources that are not readily apparent. I go below the surface and find valuable resources to post. One of the sites I use, is my own website the 21st Century Information Fluency Project <a class="ot-anchor" href="http://21cif.com/" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3366cc; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">http://21cif.com</span></a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></span>. It has been built up over 10 years with scads of material about information fluency: Other deep websites with solid content:<br />
<ul>
<li>The International <span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">Association</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> for K-12 Online Learning </span><a href="http://www.inacol.org/">http://www.inacol.org</a>/ </li>
<li><span style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">NMC Horizon Project </span><a href="http://www.nmc.org/horizon-project" style="line-height: 17.98611068725586px;">http://www.nmc.org/horizon-project</a></li>
<li>The International Society for Technology in Education <a href="https://www.iste.org/">https://www.iste.org/</a></li>
</ul>
4. Twitter: the more I use it, the more I find. I'm setting up lists of big hitters on Twitter and skimming their recommendations weekly. Follow me: <a href="https://twitter.com/wiredinstructor">@wiredinstructor</a><br />
<br />
5. My own writing; I blog on on several sites: <a href="http://21cif.blogspot.com/">The Keyword Blog</a>, <a href="http://elearning-certificate.blogspot.com/">The E-Learning Graduate Certificate Blog</a>, <a href="http://doconnor.edublogs.org/category/e-learning-jobs/">E-Learning and Online Teaching Jobs blog</a>. I always curate new materials and often 're-run' key articles I want in my networks.<br />

Teaching Information Fluency describes the skills and dispositions of information fluency adept searchers. Readers will receive in-depth information on what it takes to locate, evaluate, and ethically use digital information.<br /><br />The book realistically examines the abilities of Internet searchers today in terms of their efficiency and effectiveness in finding online information, evaluating it and using it ethically. Since the majority of people develop these skills on their own, rather than being taught, the strategies they invent may suffice for simple searches, but for more complex tasks, such as those required by academic and professional work, the average person’s performance is adequate only about 50% of the time.<br /><br />The book is laid out in five parts: an introduction to the problem and how search engine improvements are not sufficient to be of real help, speculative searching, investigative searching, ethical use and applications of information fluency. The intent of the book is to provide readers ways to improve their performance as consumers of digital information and to help teachers devise useful ways to integrate information fluency instruction into their teaching, since deliberate instruction is needed to develop fluency. Since it is unlikely that dedicated class time will be available for such instruction, the approach taken embeds information fluency activities into classroom instruction in language arts, history and science.<br /><br />Numerous model lessons and resources are woven into the fabric of the text, including think-alouds, individual and group search challenges, discussions, assessments and curation, all targeted to Common Core State Standards as well as information fluency competencies.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The preview is the FULL mini-course as students experience it. There are three parts:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Optional Pretest - we recommend you DO NOT start here. The Pretest is quite challenging and was created as a means for students who have completed previous editions of Information Researcher an opportunity to "test out" of the course. Of course, you are welcome to try it. Just realize it requires fluency in several demanding search and evaluation competencies which are covered in the tutorials. The Pretest can be turned off if this feature is not needed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tutorials - Start Here. This is where anyone new to Information Researcher should start. There are eight step-by-step tutorials with sequential descriptions and interactive challenges. The idea here is to introduce students to key online research skills and then provide practice using them. Answers are provided after incorrect answers or solutions, to speed up learning. Any interactive challenge may be repeated to try other responses. Tutorials must be completed in the order shown, however, they may be reviewed in any order once completed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Posttest - this ten-item Certification Exam provides challenges in all the essential information fluency competencies. The goal to reach is 70%, the point at which we consider individuals to be fluent. No one is expected to score 100%, since search perfection is not realistic on the Internet. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What you will not see in the Preview are reporting tools to see how your students are performing. Reports may be sorted by high scores, levels completed, names of students, etc. Reports may also be copied and pasted into Excel spreadsheets for further analysis, if desired.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We recommend NOT using this assessment/tutorial tool as the basis for assigning grades. Mastery finding, evaluating and ethically using information online is not exactly quantifiable. What matters more is that students continually improve. Most students start the course with scores in the 50% range and finish around 70% or higher.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: large;">As for licensing, we use a sliding scale that depends on the numbers of students who create accounts. For 1 person, a license is $10, for 2 to 10 persons, the costs drops to $5/person. Above that, a typical class is $4/person, a school is $1-2/person and a district is $1/person or less. If you know how many students are likely to enroll, we can give you a more precise cost estimate. </span></div>

Lately I've experimented with image search engines as a way to find interesting written information. The process is simple.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Query the search engine about your topic of choice.</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rBC9_xAjTK4/UC_cyKGQvBI/AAAAAAAAHUI/XeRu-dg3fiQ/s1600/image+search+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="531" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rBC9_xAjTK4/UC_cyKGQvBI/AAAAAAAAHUI/XeRu-dg3fiQ/s640/image+search+1.jpg" width="640" /></a><b><br /></b>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Instead of clicking through to the website returns, click on Images.</b></span><br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Scan the images for pictures or diagrams that capture your concept. </span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> “A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”

<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #333333; font-family: Times; line-height: 22px;">"The answer to any question is available anywhere within a second or too — but it’s up to the inquirer to evaluate the validity of the answer. Virtual communities, smart mobs, collective intelligence, social production, enable millions of people to do things together in the physical world that they were never before able to do. Tech-savvy teenagers invent billion dollar industries and new ways of seeking information and socializing. Others organize revolutions. Know-how is at the core of all these new phenomena, whether they are used for good or ill. So digital literacies of attention, crap detection, participation, collaboration, and network smarts constitute a critical uncertainty. The answer to “is this stuff any good for us” is, I strongly believe: “It depends on what people know, and how many of them know it.” Just as the decades after Gutenberg’s invention saw the expansion of the literate population from thousands to millions, we’re seeing the diffusion of new literacies that are already changing the world more profoundly than print did in its first decades."</span></div>
