Day #1 of the Leaders Research Project.
I thought that this was an invaluable lesson on how to do a library search for material.
In this project you are not to rely on Wikipedia. This goal of this project is for you to learn how to do "real" reseach on not just rely on typing in your topic on Wikipedia or Google.
Access the school library through destiny.sd38.bc.ca. You must use ONE book source, the online BIOGRAPHY (through INFOTRAC), and WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA.
I was amazed watching students having difficulty (how to properly find the call number) searching the book shelves for material. Eventually everyone found a book to use.
Students are asked to create a login name and password in order to save the online searches you have done. Ms. Shigeno also demonstrated ways to email yourself the information, and ways to select save the bibliography.
Students also had "fun" being able to use their phones to access the school library and do searches for material.
