It is true that we often "stumble upon" interesting items and follow links to more details or additional websites. Discovery Learning is another name for that. In these, the reader learns about a topic such as new technology tools for persons with disabilities or communicating in the 21st century, but they use their own interests and passions to learn MORE about the technology tools that are relevant to them.
Here are a few discovery learning tutorials that you can explore:
- Discovering Assistive Technology: This tutorial is brought to you by the California School Library Association and TransAccess, a community-based organization that provides persons with disabilities access to computer adaptive technology and career transition services so that they can achieve their desired education and employment, and improve their quality of life.
- Learning Web 2.0: Librarians at the College of San Mateo offer this introductory tutorial on blogs, wikis, image creation, news feeds, and more -- at no cost -- enjoy!
