Resources

=Resources=

This is a page to which you can add resources that you come across, so that others can benefit from your information literacy skills.

Those resources might be web pages ... such as this one BBC Skillswise which will be useful when it comes time to do the weekly quizzes.

They might be links to newspaper articles which tend to focus on the negative aspect of literacy teaching and learning ... such as this one Pupils leave school with poor literacy skills

The resources might be educational websites specifically designed for teachers ... such as this one MyRead

You might put up to a link to a website designed to improve your grammar skills ... such as this one [|Grammar Girl]

Or you might like to share a website which features great books ... such as this one Children's Book Council of Australia

It might also be useful to start looking at the draft English Curriculum which was released on March 1. You will need to register, but it is free. I encourage you to look at the various elements of the curriculum, and identify those areas where you might need more knowledge or to further develop your skills. For instance, one of the strands is 'literature' - what will you need to know about appropriate literature for children in order for you to implement this new curriculum?

I found this wiki about teaching literacy in the 21st century and how you can keep students involved in learning. It's http://newliteracy.wikispaces.com/. Hope this is helpful?? Kerryn.
