[LM_NET] Results of Informal Survey on New Standards

[Marilyn Plavocos Arnone <mparnone@SYR.EDU>]

About 3 weeks ago, the Center for Digital Literacy at Syracuse University surveyed 
LM_NET subscribers. We asked "In a publication that will provide 100 lesson plan 
examples, we are interested in determining where to place the greatest emphasis 
(which standards)." About  325 responses were received. Standards were rank ordered 
in terms of where the greatest perceived need is (chart attached). The results are 
as follows:

Most Examples Needed: Standard 1--Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge 
(52.8%).
Many Examples Needed: Standard 2 --Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply 
knowledge to new situation, and create new knowledge (48.5%).
Some Examples Needed: Standard 3 - Share knowledge and participate ethically and 
productively as members of our democratic society (63.4%).
Least Examples Needed: Standard 4: Pursue personal and aesthetic growth (70.5%).

We wanted to share these results with you. Thank you for participating. The 
information will be used to guide the development of a free online publication with 
more than 100 model lesson plans created by library media specialists around the 
country. The publication will be available through the Center for Digital Literacy 
web site (http://digital-literacy.syr.edu) and S.O.S. for Information Literacy 
(http://www.informationliteracy.org) in mid 2010.
