Reflections on Youtubing in the Information Literacy Classroom
I think that students were able to make the connections between different databases. They were clearly more involved, interested, and vocal. I also think it would be great to do just a browse session where students come in and use Youtube, Wikipedia, and other 2.0 technologies just to browse and find what really excites them. I’m beginning to think we’re leaving out a key step in the research process, and that’s discovery and experimentation. Rather than only teaching skills-sets, we could advocate a more holistic process that does not conveniently fit into standard curriculum.
