RDG 361 - Information Literacy

Credit Hours: 1

Addresses specific aspects of information literacy related to the teaching of reading, including engaging elementary school students in media-rich environments while helping them to grasp essential content. Course experiences help teacher candidates evaluate and select materials to develop literacy and then create strategies for elementary students to access and use such materials. Students create three media-enhanced genre selections accessible to elementary students and design an assessment to determine student understanding. TE candidates pilot the works and assessments with an elementary student and report outcomes.
