Description:

A favorite information literacy lesson entitled "Library Survivor" is one fun way LMS Steve Nabinger tests and reinforces the basic locate and access skills. It is a lesson that his wife LMS Tina Nabinger read about and adapted from "Library Media Activities Monthly" magazine. In the game students are divided into tribes from separate islands. They then receive challenges that require them to do tasks as simple as finding a bookmark or as specific as looking up the population of their island in a reference book. VIEW THE VIDEO.
