Miriam raises some interesting points:

1. There is a real need to teach children to search and discriminate information they need.
2. It is important for us all (especially the kids) to recognise info sources that have affected our thinking. It helps us go back and check it, share our understanding, and the whole recognising the author.
3. Sharing the information and our findings are really effective and purposeful.
4. As teachers we need to assess/ reflect on how good/useful our information sources are.
5. The purpose of research is to create knowledge and understanding is not merely *more* information.

I found these points really interesting and made me think a lot about the planning that I am doing now for term 3. How am I going to make sure that I am doing this??????
