This is an opportunity for the Level One (Knowledge) or Level Two (Instructional) person who plans to teach students how to access, evaluate, and use primary or secondary sources of information. Students will need to know the best way to evaluate this information to see if it is appropriate, valid, and available for their assignment or to include as part of a project. Work with another as you practice these skills using different sites on the Internet and then share ideas in an online discussion board.

This eCoach opportunity can be bundled with other opportunities in an institute or as part of your staff development program with a focus on a particular curriculum area, grade level, or project.  Our coaches can prepare your coaches to provide this service onsite for a separate fee. We will include relevant eCoach guides as part of any opportunity or purchase any guide separately.
