Welcome to Information Station at St. Joseph School This wiki will be a work in progress. The teachers at St. Joseph School are invited to view and add to the pages of this wiki.

Originally, this wiki started as a database of information about Information Literacy and Research Skills. While creating a Moodle course for several of the teachers at St. Joseph School, I started this wiki as a place where we could examine our curriculum and then compare that with several other curriculums for teaching research skills to elementary students. Eventually, we agreed to follow the Big6 and Super3 curriculum.

Information Literacy and Research skills are important parts of all of our curriculums. The Big6 is a great set of steps to follow for any problem solving project in any subject. By teaching the Big6 steps to our students, we are assisting our students in becoming lifelong learners and isn't that every teacher's goal?

However, this wiki has grown to include the students at our school. There are now several pages about Copyright and Creative Commons that we are using and developing for our students to use as they develop their own projects and online content.

Lastly, we have added some pages about Free eBooks and Ideas for Apps. Please check back often to see what we are adding to "our work in progress". Thank You!
