New book from RADCAB on evaluating information
Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at 05:02AM My colleague, former student, and friend Karen Christensson has published a new book and poster for her RADCAB series:
Little RADCABing Hood: A Cautionary Tale for Young Researchers tells the story of Red driving to Grandma's house encountering the BBWolf, serious potholes, and other hazards which help illustrate dangers of Internet research. It's a clever, nicely illustrated little book that should appeal to elementary students.
The accompanying poster explains the acronym RADCAB - Relevant, Appropriate, Detail, Currently, Authority, and Bias - factors to consider when evaluating information found online.
Karen's RADCAB concept was first published in 2006 and I am happy to say her passion for the topic has continued. Although Karen, a media specialist at the Calvin Christian School in Edina, MN, calling me a mentor still makes me feel very old.
