[CALIBK12] CA educator?

[Lesley Farmer]

I just received the Sept. issue of California Educator. 
The cover story is "The Information Age: Teaching and 
Learning on the Cutting Edge."  What a great way to start 
the school year, I thought. Well, the school library/media 
center was edged out and cut off. No mention of 
information literacy, no school libraries or library media 
teachers covered (the closest was CSU Fresno's 
Instructional Technology and Resource Center in their 
School of Ed). Plagiarism was noted -- and TurnItIn was 
praised; hmm, let's teach by punishment rather than 
construct plagiarism-proof assignments. Prove me wrong, 
folks, but am I -- or we -- or they -- missing something?
