Great Video - would like to simplify and use in powerpoint in an education setting is this ok?

[Emily Horne]

please do :) I hope it helps! We were all teachers when we made this. Best of luck!

The content rocks, but the music is a cross between K-mart muzak and a 70s porn soundtrack. Oh, now it's shifted into background music from a GI Joe video game. Ha. The content is solid though.

I agree about the music...pretty funny that you should mention it! We had to smoosh this project together from four different peoples' perspectives for a course and this is what we ended up with. There are many things I would do differently if I/we were to do it again, but it was a learning experience. I would START with the music! ;)

Great job! I like the information and sequencing of this video! Coming from a IT graduate (although its a MS1995) therefore somewhat outdated....I think you presented the Discovery method of developing "Information Literacy" very well! Thanks.

Really like the acronym. We have been using it at our school. Students really like it. We created a libguide around the entire process. Had reached out to your professor to let her know because I didn't have your contact info.

I muted and put Guile's theme in the background.
