Hi Baisl members, This will be archived if you want to take a look...;-) best, debbie From: The edWeb Team <info@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 6:51 AM Subject: Webinar 1/14 | The Research Process To: Debbie Abilock <dabilock@xxxxxxxxx> Join us for the next Emerging Tech <http://www.edweb.net/emergingtech> webinar! Wednesday, Jan. 14 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time *The Research Process* *Presented by Michelle Luhtala, Head Librarian, New Canaan High School, CT; with **Debbie Abilock, Writer, consultant, past school administrator & librarian, co-founder, NoodleTools, Inc.* *In This Session* With or without the Common Core, there is a renewed focus on inquiry in K-12 education. Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in research skills, but they seldom have a clear understanding of how to grow their learning - how to shift from superficial, fact-finding overviews, to deep, targeted, and detailed evidence collection. This session is dedicated to developing instruction that helps students with that transition, and to building close reading activities that promote critical resource evaluation. *To Participate in the Live Session* - This webinar will be recorded and archived in this community for viewing at anytime. - As a member of the Emerging Tech <http://www.edweb.net/emergingtech> community, pre-registration is not required. - Login at www.instantpresenter.com/edweb2 at the scheduled time. - Test your system for best quality: www.instantpresenter.com/systemtest *About the Presenters* *Michelle Luhtala *is the Head Librarian at New Canaan High School in New Canaan, Connecticut.
