As I read about theories of information literacy and programs to teach it, I realise I have done what so many students do....and just start reading....and am now feeling every bit anxious as Kuhlthau (2007) reported many of students feel during an assignment. I think the scaffolding we have received during this assignment has reduced possible anxiety. I am clear about the purpose of the assignment ..but the readings provide so much information that I am finding it hard to winnow information, and read for my assignment, and not for interest or future projects.
I'm going to try the concept map and brain storming. If I plan to teach these skills to students, I need to model that behaviour. I am a visual learner and like to see where everything fits in....and what I have to focus on. I have felt better about time management since putting up a weekly timetable for the family in the living area, with a list of to dos. I will post on the process.
regards, Anna
