Using Images Correctly: A One-Day Lesson
Students use images all the time, but do they use them legally? Ethically? Correctly?
Too often, the answer to all of those questions is no.
This lesson teaches students how to correctly use images in their printed and digital products: images that they place on written pieces, presentations, videos, posters, e-books, and other projects.

The Great Library Hunt Research Project
"The Great Library Hunt 50/50" came about because I noticed that while libraries (public and private) have latched on to the convenience of technology, many of our students are developing rather lazy habits of research. They begin to think that the click of a key or the tap of a mouse is the quickest, only, and best way of finding information.
