TrackStar
Research Question: Why the Common Core Initiative?
My TrackStar promotes information literacy because it provides links to opposing views of Common Core. It also guides students through similar experiences that I've had in this class by utilizing websites, such as archive.org and easywhois.com, that help validate the reliability and creditability of online information. This project is designed to show my students the need for common core in school and what that means for them. The problem I had with my TrackStar was trying to format the annotations. I'm not sure how to make lists or tables within the annotation of each link. This makes it difficult to read and follow. Also, I tried to incorporate various informational avenues, such as videos, articles, and websites. My students have to navigate websites, analyze information on webpages, and give resources of their own. I believe that my TrackStar project promotes students' ability to be a critical consumer of information. This helps prepare students for research in the workplace because it structures the research project for students, who may or may not be familiar with the process, and promotes the critical analysis of websites and their authors.
