We Can Teach That: Information Literacy for School Librarians
Editat de Ewa Dziedzic-Elliotten Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2024
For decades academic researchers have been trying to capture the essence of information literacy, its educational, cognitive and civic value.
The collection of book chapters offered in We Can Teach That is a handbook that can be used as an inspiration for teaching various types of literacy: visual, digital, multicultural, health and more. The book asks important questions: When do we start teaching information literacy? How do we teach it? How does it affect our students at their education level? How does it prepare them for their post high school adult life? Does it impact their transition to college or career?
Dziedzic-Elliott and her collaborators provide a range of best practices and concepts that inspire thinking about teaching information literacy at all levels. Although written with school librarians in mind, the book can be easily adapted by teachers, school administrators and even public librarians who are looking to incorporate information literacy elements in their daily practices.
The book challenges the reader to rethink what they know about digital or tech literacy, breaks some stereotypical concepts about multicultural literacy and highlights the importance of literacies even in adulthood.

Recenzii
We Can Teach That offers actionable strategies for launching meaningful collaborations, tailoring evaluation methods, and spearheading professional development. This volume is a vital toolkit for school librarians aiming to convert their spaces into vibrant centers of learning and creativity - and how to tell the story of their impact and importance. It is an essential companion for school library advocates to positively influence the trajectory of education.
With the dramatic increase in misinformation, disinformation, and fake news, the need to teach students information literacy skills has never been more important. Dziedzic-Elliott's We Can Teach That: Information Literacy for School Librarians is a welcome and timely work that tackles this critical topic, and is particularly useful as school librarians are re-thinking what types of information literacy skills are needed as generative AI and other technologies change the information landscape. The book draws together leading school and academic librarians and library scholars who offer thought-provoking chapters that provide illustrative examples, practical strategies, activities, and other suggestions for teaching all types of information literacy (visual, media, health, technological, multicultural) to students from toddlers through to college.
We Can Teach That: Information Literacy for School Librarians is a valuable resource for school librarians at all grade levels and for school library educators. The essays provide a variety of perspectives as well as practical examples to enable school librarians to say 'yes, we can and do teach that' and to support their leadership in teaching information literacy in their schools.
We Can Teach That! is an incredibly prescient book! Learners of all ages are inundated with information of all types, even more so with the explosion of AI. It is increasingly critical that students be taught to evaluate and cite their sources. School librarians are uniquely situated to do this!
In today's society, being literate means much more than just reading and writing. It encompasses a variety of skills including visual literacy, media literacy, digital literacy, and health literacy. Being literate today means being able to critically analyze information, understand and use technology effectively, navigate diverse media landscapes, and make informed decisions about health and wellness. We Can Teach That: Information Literacy for School Librarians shows how school librarians play a crucial role in developing these literacies, guiding students to become adept at deciphering the vast amount of information they encounter daily, and preparing them for a complex, interconnected world.
Knowledgeable professionals from various perspectives have come together centered around information literacy for all. There are so many considerations - I'm grateful for their insights in this book!
This book of essays is a treasure trove of professional development ideas for implementing literacy instruction with students. School librarians, individually or with their PLC, can focus on one chapter at a time, implementing the examples the authors detail to improve their practice. Well worth the price and usable over time.
The included student activities and lesson plans, especially those geared toward middle and high schoolers, are a highlight. Several standouts support visual and media literacy development, incorporating elements of digital literacy and cultural orientation alongside the close reading of images to fuel engaging and creative classroom activities. Educators who prioritize empowering students with information literacy skills, as well as those who must justify requests for resources to support this work, will benefit from this handbook.
