I'm looking for mentors and gurus of Web 2.0 in my school library community. Years ago as I started researching Information Literacy principals and then Digital Information Fluency skills I came across a school librarian who really put into practice all of the skills we know that are critical to teach our students (and by our or my students I mean each student/teacher/administrator/paraprofessional etc. that was in our building)
Joyce Valenza continues to inspire and lead the way for librarians to give our students the tools/resources and opportunities to succeed in our information rich world.
I have accessed her school library page giving which gives resources and tutorials on information literacy skills and her blog
From Joyce's blog I was directed to another librarian's blog...Judy O'Connell. Her blog too gives great insight into teaching information literacy using the Web 2.0 I have to admit though I know about the concept of the RSS feed, I've never engaged it. I found that both of these blogs allow me to have a feed go straight into my Google Reader. (I'm a few months new to having a gmail account).
Judy's blog also gave me access to her del.icio.us tagged list which is a wealth of information dealing with everything from blogs and podcasting to pageflakes and squidoo...
I feel like I've learned an tremendous amount in this past week and I feel more confident about my OET assignment...
