For print, just replace copy/paste with photocopy/retype. Or copy paragraphs
for notes, the tiny writing on 3x5 cards syndrome.

For both online and paper, there is the ever popular rewrite paragraphs
while reading / copy-paste and change a few words. That one makes for
interesting reading when 2-3 resources are required.

In either case, what is really missing are notetaking skills and a defined
purpose of research which usually means lack of a synthesis component in the
project.

I think it would be well worth reading Dr. Kuhlthau's writings about
Information Search Process (ISP)
(http://www.scils.rutgers.edu/%7Ekuhlthau/Search%20Process.htm) for aspects
about how students react to research projects, how they are learning, and
how we can best match instruction.

Subject: Re: why a print encyclopedia


Hi all,

A 'teaching' perspective on the issue - students find ways to directly =
copy the material from online encyclopedias through either copy and = paste
directly into their assignment on Word or they select specific = information
and print that out directly and copy word-for-word into = their assignments
or they cut and paste into their email account and = send it home to be
'extracted' into their assignment at home.

In line with teaching information skills, most specifically note-taking =
strategies in this instance, I find that by limiting students to print =
encyclopedia's they are encouraged firstly to share information with =
others, and to restrict their note-taking to main ideas, phrases, key =
words, etc.  Thereby, encouraging students to consolidate the = information
they find, rather than just copy the words out and take = nothing on
board.=20

Cheers,
