YouTube Tuesday: Time



This video is long, but the information it contains is worth the ten minutes you spend watching it.

While the connection to libraries is tangential, there is a lesson to be seen. Students have been hard wired by technology. The way we teach information literacy needs to match the way their brains work. I, like many librarians, to readily slip into the lecture/slide method of teaching. We need to find a way to make information literacy and library instruction classes more interactive and technology oriented.

We have to work harder to reach our users. Trying for force the lessons into their heads the old way will not work. It will only push these users out of our doors.

Has anyone out there tried a teaching method that actual seems to stick?
