Hi Christine (again) > I would greatly appreciate and gladly share with all lessons that you use to > teach elementary school kids how to use the school's online catalog. I found the best way to get the kids to use it was to get them to explore it without instruction and then have them write a set of step-by-step instructions that the younger students could use. Takes a couple of sessions but they love it. When the instructions are finished, I give them to the younger guys and ask them to test drive them and add anything missed out or that they also discover! Then they go back to the older kids who, in groups of 4, must then come up with a common set that can be used as wall posters! Student-centred, purposeful, self-evaluative and my brain isn't strained. AND they all use the OPAC all the time. We are all winners!
