I created a short ThinkAloud to demonstrate Validating Information on a Website. I used a website that addresses the issue of arming teachers with guns. I pulled statements from the article that reflects a partiality and conveyed a particular point of view. I triangulated the data with another website resource on the same topic.
I chose this particular article because it contains a quote from a local person, Michael Queen, president of the Harrison County Board of Education. I thought this to be interesting regarding a local opinion on the topic.
I think it is important to provide students with information literacy skills to be active participants in the digital age. Young people need to learn the skills needed to be involved in the community and understand how to be critical consumers.
Implementing project based lessons, like the ThinkAloud, can provide students with a more meaningful information literacy experience than reading textbooks because it makes it more relevant to real life by providing current topics and information in the media. Actively engaging in real world projects creates opportunities for students to construct knowledge and better enable them in problem solving and text meaning.
