<p class="MsoNormal">I have started doing that differently…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have very difficult to engage 7<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> graders. But I have robots and a makerspace and they have 1:1 ipads. So we did interpretive database dances.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I used mekamon robots for the first part of the lesson. I had them watch a short video on why database are good. Then I went over my top three research skills (search term, search location, and evaluate results). I then showed them how
to use the reach edu app to get the robots to dance. I explained I would assign their group number 1, 2, or 3 and they would have to do an interpretive dance with that. I then told them how to bs, aka use abstract thinking skills, and come up with the interpretive
part. They then have time to work and I go around to each group and make them show me their final dance and explain interpretation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I find this at least gets them to really know one of the three skills!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then for part 2 we all did the procedure to get on worldbook together. We make a bookmark, etc. Then we pick a topic. We put it in worldbook. We put it into google. We compare. Then we get out the mekamons and spheros. I have them spend
a few moments with both, and they compare. How is sphero like google and mekamon like worldbook I ask?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am now working on a green screen lesson for easy bib citations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I warn the students (and teachers) ahead that this is different and I am constantly experimenting on them. I say I do have a powerpoint if they prefer, but lets work together and try something different and I will keep trying to do it better.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, all! <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did a digital scavenger hunt this year for our sixth grade database tutorials because I was in the same situation. This particular lesson only works for Mac products--our students are 1:1 with iPads, but you could easily adapt it for
chromebooks using Google slides. It would be just a little bit messier because slides doesn't have the technical capability of inserting media placeholders or locking a master template as far as I know. For this lesson I created my own Keynote template with
media placeholder icons and matching prompts. Students needed to access a particular article in a particular database in small groups. The prompts they were assigned aligned with the article and the database--they needed to use their iPads to screenshot the
evidence that they had found the tool/icon/information they were looking for, and upload it to take the place of the media placeholder. I've attached the template here. It's reminiscent of what Ben suggested.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another option I've pursued was to create high quality video database tutorials and flip the lesson so that they have done the boring part and home and come in ready to apply the skills with direct support. <o:p></o:p></p>

I talked about filter bubbles and how Google filters and tracks what they see and do. We have databases so that we can eliminate the filter bubbles and get good information without needing to examine the sources for everything. The kids freak out when they
see what Google knows and they are wanting to use the databases so they aren't tracked as much. <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
I will also demonstrate (5-10 min) how three databases work for whatever they are doing. I create a Google Slides presentation that has specific things I want them to learn for each database (finding citations, advanced search, other docs, videos, etc.).
I divide the class into small groups (2-3), and each group has a database and they put screenshots into the Google Slides showing their completion of that search item. I let the groups choose what they want to search, and say they are not allowed to search
for their research, but something fun. The teacher keeps that on their Google Classroom or LMS at the top for them to reference as they are using the databases. <o:p></o:p></li></ol>

to find citations, etc. without the basic lecture style but I know it's dry and boring. I'd love to find a way to teach the content without being incredibly boring <span style="font-family:"Apple Color Emoji"">😂</span>
