This
interactive workshop applies student-centered pedagogy to information literacy
learning outcomes, which supply students with an arsenal of tools and
techniques to navigate our increasingly complex digital landscape. Participants
will be introduced to example assignments that encourage critical thinking
within classrooms and engaged citizenship outside of it, as well as techniques
for structuring inclusive student discussions. We will discuss concrete methods
to make your classroom a space where students feel that their voices are heard
and valued, as well as safe to navigate complex problems. In the spirit of
valuing all voices, audience participation is strongly encouraged for this
workshop. It is our hope that participants will leave with a peer-recommended
inventory of suggestions for cultivating critical classroom discussions.
