ILILE Summer Workshops 2005
The Institute for Library and Information Literacy Education (ILILE) sponsored the third series of ILILE Summer Workshops in July 2005 for teachers and school library media specialists. ILILE held two workshops in July, one in each of the following content areas: Arts/Language Arts (July 6-8) and Technology (July 13-15). A total of 55 teams (129 participants) were chosen from a highly qualified pool of applicants from across the state of Ohio.
The ILILE Summer Workshop participants worked collaboratively to develop lesson plans they will use in their local school district, which are based on the Ohio Department of Education's Academic Content Standards. Teachers and librarians will work to incorporate information literacy strategies and the electronic resources of INFOhio (The Information Network for Ohio Schools; http://www.infohio.org) into their activities throughout the fall 2005 semester. Both the teacher and school library media specialist will receive two hours of graduate credit from Kent State University following workshop attendance and completion of assignments.
Participants heard presentations from nationally recognized experts including Frank Baker, educational consultant and media educator, and Will Richardson, Supervisor of Instructional Technology and Communications at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, New Jersey, who spoke on collaboration, information literacy and specific strategies for content area lesson planning. Other featured presenters included: Tony Marshalek, consultant from INFOhio, Marge Ford, school library media specialist from Memorial High School in the Campbell City School District (Youngstown, Ohio), Debra Kay Logan, school library media specialist from Mount Gilead High School (Mount Gilead, Ohio), Stephanie Rosselli, arts consultant and coordinator for gifted students at the Stark County Educational Service Center (Canton, Ohio), and David Bruce, Assistant Professor from the College and Graduate School of Education, Health and Human Services at Kent State University.
