3. Goals and Outcomes My goal related to Twt: Figure out how to capitalize on technology in the classroom (i.e., iPads, iMacs, and presentation capabilities) in a meaningful way to support student learning. Students will… • …identify key concepts that describe the information need in order to prepare for searching for appropriate sources. • … demonstrate the ability to use a range of evaluative criteria in order to explain the rationale for source selection and select source(s) appropriate to the information need.
4. Affordance Analysis
5. Concept Mapping

7. Would you rather… … take an exam for 50% of your final grade? OR … write a research paper for 50% of your final grade? • Open the Poll Everywhere site from the iPad home screen • Enter the correct code for your answer: • 212723 for “Take an exam” • 212743 for “Write a paper”
10. First things first… Ask a Librarian! • Kimberly Miller • kimberlymiller@towson.edu • 410-704-6324 • Cook Library • In-person: Reference desk (3rd Floor) • Phone: 410-704-2462 • IM/Email: http://cooklibrary.towson.edu • Text: 66746 & start your question with askcook • Social Media
11. Poll Results • This slide will have live poll results from the ice breaker questions
12. What are we going to learn? How do I start my project? Understanding your assignment Brainstorming What is “good” information? Scholarly vs. Popular Formats Evaluation criteria How do I use the library? Search Strategies Finding Books & Articles How should I use the information I find in my paper? Plagiarism Citing Information

15. How do I start my project? Image source: http://library.Uvic.Ca/instruction/research/devtopic.html
16. Brainstorming • You’ve already picked a topic for your project – why should we do some brainstorming before we start our research? • Discover: • What you know about a topic • What you want to learn about a topic • What questions you can ask about a topic • Which direction you want to pursue in your project
17. Creating a Concept Map • A concept map is a diagram that can be created to show connections between different aspects of a topic. • Sample: “Social media” • Use the iPad app “Popplet (lite)” to create a concept map for your own group project topic • Demo of app • See handout and ask for more help if need it
18. Finishing Your Concept Map • When you’re done, take a picture of your concept map (see the handout for directions to do this). • Open the TU Student Email link on the home screen • Email a copy of your map to yourself and to your librarian (kimberlymiller@towson.edu) along with the answer to the question: • What is one new question you have about your topic?
