The BA Library received a request from the CRE Teacher to gather sources about Rites of Passage. We came up with a Pathfinder focusing on John Lame Deer. We are sharing the file to everyone.
Content curation and selection of sources for your class are services that the BA Library facilitate. You can send your request for assistance via email (teacherlibrarian@beaconacademy.ph) or Workchat. I can also facilitate a one-on-one session for you or for your class if needed. Content curation involves skills in locating, accessing, organizing and documenting sources. It may come in handy when working on long essays and research projects.
BONUS information: EBSCOHost and World Book Online both have curation apps embedded in their portals and e-learning platforms. If you have an app for curation or bookmarking functions, share it with us. We will see if we can upload them onto the iPads. Thank you!
