Information Transformation

Transforming data into meaningful information is a skill essential to succeeding in our "information age." This timely book provides teachers with concise, cross-curricular lesson plans to promote student research skills and explore all aspects of information literacy and technology.

Information Transformation is packed with hundreds of ideas for managing information effectively. The book takes students from the initial selection of a topic through the stages of research to final presentation.

The lesson plans, logically ordered and cross-referenced, can be applied to specific research projects that students undertake or provide and strengthen skills in information technology. Each lesson identifies the skills that students will practice, the lesson objective and the primary activity, and includes extensions, applications of technology, and additional questions for reflection.

Reproducible student pages, helpful rubrics, student self-assessment pages, a glossary, and a skills index complement this comprehensive resource.
