Webinar

Wednesday, February 13th at 3:00 PM ET- EasyBib & BrainPOP: Researching Research

Out of habit, today’s students regularly turn to popular search engines for their school research — often overlooking valuable library resources. So how do we teach them proper research skills in this digital age? We’ll welcome the team from EasyBib.com for a jointly hosted webinar discussing recent studies on the strengths and weaknesses of student research skills and the habits of EasyBib’s 40 million users.

    The webinar yesterday was interesting, but not surprising. Good idea to use stats to show HS students that they may need to learn some more proficient research skills to be ready for college.

    I plan to use these statistics as an intro to a session on using online research resources. Does everyone know about the EasyBib cell phone app? It’s fabulous.

    Thank you for an enlightening presentation about research and how our students should be doing it. The internet in their eyes is gospel truth and this needs to change.

    Even though we are a small school, your statistics follow what I have observed with my students. I’d love to see another webinar on how to properly site web sites. No two are the same.

    Hi,
    I just posted my comments elsewhere on this site (to cmignano), but want to be sure I did it right and will get my participation certificate.
    Basically I said it was helpful to get current statistics about the sources students use and cite in their research. I think it will help me convince reluctant teachers to allow their students to use EasyBib.

    I need a certificate for attendance, please. Very informative webinar! I got great information to use in class and for my MLIS studies. Thanks!

    I found the statistics informing and overwhelming. I am sure so many of our college student think they are prepared because they can access wikipedia or google. Obviously not true.
    Thank you

    I just ended my session on EasyBib & BrainPOP: Researching Research. I heard mention of earning CPDU’s for attending the seminar. I logged in with the username: EasyBib & BrainPOP: Researching Research

    Thanks for the great information. I am glad to have Brain Pop and EasyBib as resources for my students. The statistics were about what I expected and confirmed my fears that our students just are not getting the instruction they need to be good researchers. They just are not learning where to find credible information. I hope I have time to instruct not only my students but the staff I collaborate with.

    I have a better understanding about brainpop, from listening. I am going to use brainpop as a supplemenatal to all my lessons. It is also a great start to class while taking attendence.

    I am looking forward to accessing research lesson plans on BrainPOP. As a media specialist at a P3 – 8th grade school, I am always looking for a variety of ways to encourage research. I teach the importance of citations with every assignment. The students still find it a challenge to keep track of their sources,even when using EasyBib. Yet, it is great to use EasyBib to facilitate the process. Thank you for the information.
