It's more of a train the trainer IL model . What do you think? 
Critical Information Literacy Laboratory for Faculty, California State University, San Bernadino]]> 2017-09-24 00:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/190491885 schakmakian https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/195341531 I found this website in a search of the PRIMO database. It's very short and simple as far as IL websites go, but I think that it offers an inventive and engaging introduction to a topic (correctly citing sources using APA style) that usually isn't the most exciting thing ever.  It's set up like a text-based adventure game and you use your APA skills to cure zombies! (It only takes a few minutes to get through and I thought it was quite fun!)]]> 2017-10-09 18:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/195341531 janet_caiola https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/196922359 IL Website
I came upon this the other day while reading School Library Journal. It is a little clunky to navigate, but it gives some good ideas for lesson plans to teach and develop digital citizenship skills in students. https://www.commonsense.org/education/digital-citizenship]]> 2017-10-13 17:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/196922359 michele_manning1 https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/197113922 This website is an online game to help elementary school students learn how books are shelved in the library. I've used it with 3rd and 4th graders and they really enjoy. The game itself doesn't provide a lot of background info about how the books are arranged (you have to teach a lesson prior to the game, but the website does provide a multitude of resources for school librarians.

It was so well rounded and informative and that was one of the only sites that I found that helped the learner figure out their learning preference, and then suggest what type of instructional class to take based upon that. It appeals to individuals with different learning styles through a variety of visual and educational formats. It also allows for the individual to check their knowledge with assessments! https://www.nypl.org/education ]]> 2017-10-17 02:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/197623441 emarchetti https://padlet.com/marymacuri/4w17mahrxoze/wish/201551345 Emilie Marchetti's Favorite IL Website
I also really enjoyed the Columbus Library website. The colors are bright and engaging. Everything is set in blocks with images which I find particularly helpful as a user. My favorite part of the site I linked below is their instructional page for accessing ebooks on each device. I love that they use an image for each type of device and that they have a link to PDF step-by-step instructions.
