Overview

http://www.informationliteracy.org/topmenu/view/73

.

"S.O.S. for Information Literacy is a dynamic web-based multimedia resource for educators that promises to make a significant contribution to enhancing the teaching of information literacy skills to students in K-16. The project is currently in its final stage of development in which S.O.S. is being expanded for use by high school and college level educators. At no time in history has the ability to locate, organize, evaluate, manage and use information been more critical for today's learners. These skills, collectively referred to as information literacy, lay the groundwork for success in every phase of a student's life both in and out of school. Preliminary research for this project was made possible through a Small Business Innovation Research award from the U.S. Department of Education. Funding for full development and implementation has been made possible by National Leadership Grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)."

How did S.O.S. get the name?

"The S.O.S in the title of the project does represent a call to action to enhance information literacy instruction. It also refers to the job that IL instructors must accomplish in preparing IL instruction. That is, they must consider the specific Situation (e.g., grade level, curricula area for integrating IL instruction, etc.), the desired Outcome(s) (e.g., information skill(s) to be learned), and what Strategies (e.g., teaching ideas or specific techniques and methods) they need to include in their instruction in order to achieve the desired outcome. Using the S.O.S. system, an educator can input the situation and desired outcomes, and the S.O.S system will suggest possible motivational teaching strategies in the form of lesson plans, teaching ideas (many with actual teaching materials included), and buILders!"

Conducting the Search: Finding Websites

This lesson plan is designed to introduce students to search engines and their advanced search options, operating on the assumption that most students are familiar with Google. Students will build strategies to answer practice questions and effectively find websites using search engines, such as Google and Google Scholar.

This lesson plan was originally created to be used in conjunction with Library Online Basic Orientation (LOBO) at North Carolina State University: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/lobo2/.

Taming the Wild Web: Using Web Sources To Your Best Advantage

Using a hands-on group activity, class discussion, and student demonstration, this lesson teaches students how to critically evaluate information found on the web. Students will evaluate a sample web site and seek additional information in order to verify that site. Wikipedia will be used as one corroborative tool, and Wikipedia's own validity and reliability will be examined. Finally, students will gain a brief introduction to the library's databases through the use of LexisNexis as an additional verification tool.

This lesson has been used as part of a fourteen session, one-credit information literacy course. It also serves well as a single session on web evaluation. Since the lesson uses the DHMO (dihydrogen monoxide) hoax site as an example, it is particularly relevant to chemistry, biology and environmental studies students. The evaluation skills presented, however, will be useful to students in all disciplines.
