Activity: digital tools for knowledge creation In pairs collaboratively discuss mobile apps / digital tools that might be used by students when they are creating information.
Can you think of a digital tool for students to use if they are creating:A filmA poemAn appAn artefactA written reportA presentation

Background: your library has focused its attention over recent years on supporting students in finding information. You notice though that students are less inclined to be passive consumers of information these days. You think about Belshaw’s expression “a generation of web makers” (2012) and are interested in embracing the creativity which is increasingly taking place in the library.The task: In groups collaboratively design an information and digital literacy workshop to support ‘the generation of makers’. Think more broadly than web makers; this might involve students/ learners writing a poem, a story, scripting a film or creating an artefact. Perhaps they are writing a traditional academic report or a presentation. Perhaps they will develop an app. Use your imagination! How will this activity be enhanced by the use of a digital tool? The lesson plan: Using the sheets, pens and post-it notes provided, (or a package like Trello) create a lesson plan capturing:• An engaging title• The aim of the workshop indicating the intersection between the
information literacy and the digital tool• A timed lesson plan incorporating a range of activities/ delivery styles• The mobile app(s) or digital tool(s) which will be used
Activity: creating a lesson plan
