NEW BLOG POST: How We Teach Students Source Literacy: Practice!

Teaching students the difference between the Huffington Post, The Atlantic, The Onion and BuzzFeed. 

By Nora Murphy, FSHA's Librarian

Here is what I think about in the shower, as I drive, while I’m folding laundry.
“How can I make sure students know that there are multiple professional trade journals for the candy manufacturing industry?” (I know of at least two, by the way— Candy Industry and The Manufacturing Confectioner.) What is wrong with me, you ask? Only that the more I teach research skills, the more research skills I am able to identify. They keep coming out of the woodwork. These are things that you and I just know, because we are research literate, source literate, media literate, digitally literate. I think about these things as I empty the dishwasher because I need to find out how we became literate in these areas so that I can help our girls do the same.
