Welcome to Teaching Information Literacy Skills to Elementary Students ====This wiki was created to coincide with a Moodle course for teachers at St. Joseph School. The purpose of the wiki is to give teacher participants an online venue in which they can share “tried and true” ideas, revisit how to teach research skills, and add any old or new information to a resource library which can then be used by all teachers at the school. During the Moodle course, the teacher participants will be creating Guidelines for Teaching Research Skills to Elementary Students. These guidelines will then be shared with the school during the Faculty In-service Trainings. (Picture taken from flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlaarena/5220177397/in/pool-858082@N25/) ====
