This past week the Bellmore-Merrick librarians taught the first of four digital literacy lessons to our students in the Meadowbrook Alternative Program (MAP). Rachel Mathieu-Leo, from Merrick Avenue Middle School, taught the 9th-grade students via Zoom about plagiarism, fake news and misinformation, and digital footprints. Mrs. Mathieu-Leo focused on real-world examples and how these three topics can affect student's daily lives. Next up is Sharon Roccaforte, the librarian from Calhoun High School, who will teach the 10th-grade students this week. Each lesson will build on the previously taught skills.
Coming up:
Kristen Mogavero, the librarian from Kennedy High School who will teach 11th-grade students.
Kathryn Belakas, the librarian from Grand Avenue Middle School who will teach 12th-grade students.
