CD-ROM's and Research Skills

[Lynne Judson Webb <lynnew@TENET.EDU>]

Fellow 'Netters, I will be presenting a 45 minute session at the state
Texas Computer Education Association State conference next week titled
"Teaching Information Age Research Skills Using CD-ROM Technology" - I
will be discussing the use of Groliers MME and SIRS as tools to
facilitate the teaching of keyword searching, boolean operators,
proximity searching, and truncation.  If you use these programs, or any
other CD-ROMS for the same purpose, I would love to hear from you and
include your ideas/methods in the presentation (naturally you will be
given due credit:) )  I will also be discussing how the use of thse
programs (especially SIRS) helps students develop Critical Thinking
Skills- if you agree, or disagree, I would appreciate any thought you
have on this topic as well.  I love LM-NET!
Lynne
