At the beginning of the school year, the librarian and academic technology specialist provided a library orientation and taught information literacy and technology classes to all 7th and 8th graders. Our curriculum supports the middle school’s 1:1 laptop program and ensures that our students have the skills to succeed in our technology-enriched school environment. The program includes:
- MS Digital Community Culture & Rules
-
- helping students log onto their school online accounts
- exploring strategies for organizing online work (gmail, google docs, etc.)
- showing students how to access and use the MS library website and catalog
- an introduction to available print and electronic resources
-
- instruction on how to cite sources properly
