Courses
I will be organising teacher CPD for session 2010-2011 related to both SQA National Qualificiations and to the Curriculum for Excellence.

Information Research Skills
This is a course for sixth year pupils which can be delivered in three hours. It outlines how to use the internet to help with projects, assignments, dissertations etc. for SQA Higher, Advanced Higher and the Baccalaureate. These skills are of course central to much of study in further and higher education.

The course outlines how to:

1. select a research question
2. collect and evaluate information
3. organise information
4. present information
5. evaluate at all stages.

It deals with advanced web search, plagiarism, referencing and concept mapping. I will provide a set of resources which can be placed on your school server. The course is also of use to teaching staff and librarians.

Email Instrell@aol.com if you would like to offer this to your pupils.
