[LM_NET] HIT: 9th Grade Orientation

[Sari <imabluestocking@YAHOO.COM>]

Here is one more excellent response to the 9th grade orientation inquiry.  This is 
exactly the type of thing I was looking for.  My school is going to start having 
Moodle this year so I've never used it before but I can't wait to try it.

I did mine on Moodle this past year and it worked very well.  It became more of a 
self-paced short course and the kids were more engaged then in previous years.  I 
do orientation with our 9th grade social studies classes during their health unit 
so the articles I picked were geared toward that.  The classes are huge (some over 
40 kids) and they are heterogeneous groups so allowing the more advanced kids to go 
faster worked well and I had some enrichment activities tied to information 
literacy issues for them when they finished.  Below is a link to our district's 
Moodle server.  Click on the guest login button and click on LHS.  Library 
orientation is the third link down.  Some of the instructions may not be entirely 
accurate since the databases change but you will get the drift.
