Think aloud from abigailh24
For my ThinkAloud project I chose sources that I believed would be reliable: the National School of Safety and Security Services and CNN. After performing a web evaluation, I found my sources to be valid and credible. Making the slideshow was a great learning experience. I've used Jing before, but only to take screen captures. I've never added my own quotes with text boxes. It is a great way to comment on what you are reading/researching. I would love to do this with my students in the future. What an engaged way to take notes or leave comments!
I believe it is important to provide students with information literacy skills in the digital age because digital media is a huge form of communication for us. It is a way for students to be able to present information and show us what they know. There is a higher level of engagement when students construct a project like the ThinkAloud, as opposed to just reading a textbook. They are able to use a variety of learning styles by incorporating writing, art, and music.
