Models of Inquiry and Technology
Due: One week after the first workshop.
During the first workshop, we will explore collaboratively a number of inquiry/information literacy models that have been developed over the years. Then, with a group, you will create a drawing of your group's inquiry model on a Google Drawing. It will be your first experience in this class on building collaborative intelligence.
As a result of this learning activity, you will compose a "Quick Write Answer" in the form of a one-page reflection and post it to Canvas under the assignment listing for Models of Inquiry and Technology. As
In your Quick Write, answer the following four major questions that we addressed in Workshop #1:
1. When did you encounter inquiry during K-12? Did a librarian have anything to do with this type of learning?
2. How well were you prepared to do serious inquiry by your freshman year in college?
3. Add a screen shot of your group model done in the workshop and defend it.
The easiest way for your prof to read this is to prepare a word doc with yur answers and put the url to your group's model at the top.
Steps in being able to answer the above questions:
- Inspect traditional models of information literacy using Information Literacy Models. As well as the 18 Think Models as referenced in the Loertscher textbook.
- Synthesize the traditional models by drawing a composite in a small group. See drawings below:
- Compare your drawing with more recent Inquiry models.
- Examine ways that technology can boost learning using the SAMR model of technology.
