Be Your Own Boss: Use Math (and Internet Research) to Take Charge of Your Decisions

1.5 PD Hrs

Research is a big part of making an informed decision. The Be Your Own Boss unit scaffolds digital literacy expectations and experiences for students, all within the Be Your Own Boss context. In early lessons, students find an answer to a specific question. In subsequent lessons, students begin searching for answers to more open-ended questions and evaluating and organizing information. Included with the unit are materials to use in classes in which internet access is unavailable, as well as ideas for different digital literacy experience levels.

In this session, you will experience a sequence of activities from the unit and see how the activities are scaffolded to help students grow toward becoming better researchers and more digitally literate consumers.
