Reviews / Votes
"Despite the title (first published in 2008), this is a serious guide for teaching students information literacy skills. An educational consultant/veteran teacher emphasizes that information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing teachers' roles from the traditional 'chalk, talk, sit, listen' approach. In the context of the UK National Curriculum, Grey presents teacher tools, tips, and resources for developing learning-to-learn skills in an ICT world. He also discusses alternative learning environments, and the influence of external factors on learning." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.More details
