Netskills is pleased to announce two free new workshops for secondary
school teachers and support staff. Funded by Eduserv, the workshops aim to
develop information literacy in the schools sector.
"Information Skills for Teachers : Is Google Enough?" is a one day workshop
which aims to help teachers make the most of Google and other information
sources to find quality information quickly and effectively. Everyone uses
Google to find information on the web, but could you be using it more
effectively? Or indeed, is there life beyond Google?
"Exploring and Deterring Plagiarism In Schools" is an evening workshop
which aims to explore the impact of the web on plagiarism, examining essay
banks and online tutorials, and find out how best to deter it in schools.
Both workshops include presentations, hands-on sessions and opportunities
for discussion. Lunch or tea and refreshments are provided, as well as a
workbook containing all materials.
BOOK NOW - HURRY, PLACES ARE LIMITED!
The workshops will be held on the following dates:
Information Skills for Teachers (10 am - 4pm):
