Final TrackStar

TrackStar - Do getting good grades in school really matter?


My TrackStar promotes online research strategies and provides information of why it should be important to a student to get good grades in school.

  • This strategy teaches information literacy skills by presenting a real-life question with various perspectives.
  • This allows students to create their own opinion of the information given after carefully answering the question prompts.
  • The websites provide different viewpoints on the same topic and proves that it is important to examine the reliability and credibility of all information.
  • The students already possess background knowledge on this particular research question, which helps when examining the webpages and gives them the opportunity to establish their more educated position and reasoning behind it.
  • TrackStar motivates and engages the student by actively involving them in the step-by-step process in learning today's necessary information literacy skills. 
  • The goal is for students to realize the importance of questioning online resources and get a variety of sources to create their own conclusions.
