And kids can sniff it out like that…” “There was this teacher, and she like taught us how to research like 5 million times in one year and then I had her the next year and she tried to teach it again. I know it already!” “I get the impression from a lot of students that they’re not used to having to think – they just want to cut and paste. But I think the problem is more about kids not having confidence in their own ideas – they just say what they think you want to hear. They’re afraid of getting the answer wrong.” “I think students have a tendency to assume, depending on their age, that because it’s published somewhere, even on the net, then it must be factual.” http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/ergo Applications • Interdisciplinary resource supporting literacy across discipline areas • VELS Thinking Processes, Personal Learning, Humanities, English and The Arts • ‘Short cut’ to reliable online sources • Homework and study support at home and at school • Middle years/VCE orientation programs • Exam preparation and pastoral care programs • Support accessing SLV’s collections and services State Library of Victoria Onsite Becoming a member and accessing the collections http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/about/using/register/index.html Free wireless http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/about/using/wireless/access_guide.html Collections http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/collections/index.html Free programs and events http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/programs/index.html Learning Services http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/programs/learning_program.html State Library of Victoria Online Catalogues http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/catalogues/ Manuscripts catalogue (Port Phillip Papers) Main catalogue (Digitised pamphlets and Alma Collection) Picture catalogue (Literally millions of images of metropolitan and regional Victoria) Online databases http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/catalogues/information_databases/offsite.html Including: Oxford Art Online, Oxford Music Online, Oxford Reference Online Premium (History and Literature), Professional development Collection (EBSCO for educators), Newsbank, Press display (International newspapers from the last 2 months), The Times Digital Archive 1785-1985, AustLit State Library of Victoria Websites Ask Now! http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/services/information/index.html Inside a dog http://www.insideadog.com.au/ Mirror of the World http://www.mirroroftheworld.com.au/ Burke and Wills – Terra Incognita http://victoria.slv.vic.gov.au/burkeandwills/index.html Latrobe Journal Online http://calisto.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/index.html Evaluating sources Wikipedia example http://slv.vic.gov.au/ergo/background_reading http://slv.vic.gov.au/ergo/evaluate_websites + Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo Conservapedia http://www.conservapedia.com/Kangaroo Uncyclopedia http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo Have you ever looked at the Wikipedia ‘History’ tab?
