Information literacy sessions that focus on basic search techniques can be helpful to students, but often leave the librarian instructor wishing for more--more critical thinking, more substance, more information literacy at a deeper level. Take heart! We think carving even 5-15 minutes out of a session for a metacognitive activity can make a difference to you and the students attending the session. In this workshop, participants will choose from a menu of activities. Participants will experience each exercise from a student's vantage point, then discuss goals, implementation, and adaptation from the librarian's perspective. Each activity is adaptable and helps students think critically about information access, consumption, dissemination, or creation.
Participants will:
- Leave with several substantive, Framework-based, adaptable activities to use with their students.
- Be able to identify and utilize flexible, metacognitive activities for their own use in instruction
- Be able to articulate how these activities relate to the Framework
