The 21st Century Information Fluency Project at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy provides training and resources to enhance skills in finding, evaluating and using digital information to students and educators around the world.
I have been associated with this Project since 2004 and serve as its director. I am primarily involved in designing curriculum and games that are based on research and developing courses, workshops, webinars and online materials that result in more efficient searching, effective evaluation and ethical use. These resources are featured in the Full Circle Resource Kit.
I present face-to-face workshops and lectures to hundreds of educators each year in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and Georgia. The most requested topics are "Power Searching," "Web Site Evaluation" and "Five Things Today's Digital Generation Cannot Do."
As of May 2011, online subscription resources are used by over 3,500 educators. My blog, Internet Search Challenge, is viewed by readers in over 100 countries.
I currently offer the following face-to-face workshops:
