[LM_NET] Information literacy staff devel. program

[Geralyn HAAN <ghaan@MAINE207WEST.K12.IL.US>]

Hi everybody,

As part of his work with MindUniversity, a teacher at my school*Dan Fouts*is 
currently piloting an Information literacy program for faculty called Building 
Bridges. 

This grant-funded program is modeled after the research of Keith Curry Lance who 
has found that high achieving schools are ones that utilize technology to involve 
librarians in the teaching and learning process.  As “web coaches” in Building 
Bridges, librarians are actively involved with helping teachers use technology to 
organize and present information. Several of the teachers at my school use the 
technology in this program and many have found it to be useful in enhancing their 
information-literacy skills.

Dan and his assistant Frank Houston are looking for librarians who want to get 
involved in this pilot! If you are interested in a short phone demonstration of the 
technology and/or to learn more about Building Bridges, please send a reply to this 
e-mail to ( frankhouston@minduniversity.com ) with the following information:

(1) name, 
(2) school name, 
(3) phone number 
(4) convenient time of day (and date if possible) when you would like to be called 
for a 15-minute phone demonstration--please be at an internet-connected computer.

Thanks,
