Hey Hey #CALIBCHAT High School Teacher Librarian. Research is investigation. Sometimes in books; sometimes in the field and hands on.

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:02 PM EDT

Welcome, Tara! Love your research definition! #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:02 PM EDT

Research is about seeking new understanding through engaging with the ideas of others. It is trial and error. #calibchat

To me, research is any form of inquiry, formal or informal, to satisfy curiosity, find answers & build new knowledge #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:03 PM EDT

Standby for Q1 coming soon. We’ll use the format Q1/A1, Q2/A2, etc. Answer each question w/ A# & include #calibchat in all tweets

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Question 1: #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Love "trial and error". Often research leads to more questions and more research #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Thinking it is also about Nancy Drewing stuff out! #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1 Research does not need to result in a paper. Shake it up with infographic, pictoral essay, thematic party, or... #CALIBCHAT

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1: Successful student research needs to include student choice, link to their personal interests, allow for varied sources #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Noticed I started calling research files forensic files #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

warrenmedia Sep 28 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Q1 question formulation from students is essential if we are going to advance research skills in any meaningful way! #calibchat

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: Research does not need to be formal! #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

So agree, Glen. And, thanks for joining us! #calibchat

_tbrown411 Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Research is when I have to figure stuff out. #calibchat

MindyWilmot Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Can use lots of different types of resources for research. Can shake up the product and the way to get there. #calibchat

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Partnering w/ TL's helps make even informal research more powerful because we bring info lit skills to the table. #calibchat

ccassinelli Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

I want Ts to know that it takes a lot of rehearsal & pratice to be effective researchers - model your thinking & strategies #CALIBCHAT

WRHSLib Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Research is a process, starts w/ Topic Development & sources should be evaluated for credibility. Be creative with final products #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Yes! We tend to think only of the formal. We all do informal research every day! #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:08 PM EDT

YES! Think of all the informal research we do. Pinterest #calibchat

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: Research does not need to be formal! #calibchat

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Also the type of source that is best for the research depends on the purpose and audience of the research. #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Thanks so much for joining in, Terri. And, yes, any figuring out can call for research. #CALIBCHAT

In reply to @_tbrown411

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:09 PM EDT

I love academic journals, but it won't help me research what to see if I want to visit Iceland. Match the source to the need. #calibchat

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Also the type of source that is best for the research depends on the purpose and audience of the research. #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Yes. Please don't research once a year and think it will stick. #calibchat

In reply to @ccassinelli

_tbrown411 Sep 28 @ 8:10 PM EDT

You have to have the right tool for the job. #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Bam! #calibchat

_tbrown411 Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Research is when I have to figure stuff out. #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Yes! And, sometimes, contacting experts via Twitter is the best source! Databases are fantastic, but not for everything. #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

markemoran Sep 28 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Yes. Research can't be taught in a semester or only in the library. Model, teach & reinforce it in every class, K-12. #Calibchat

ccassinelli Sep 28 @ 8:07 PM EDT

I want Ts to know that it takes a lot of rehearsal & pratice to be effective researchers - model your thinking & strategies #CALIBCHAT

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Yes. Research is critical thinking. Evaluate the needs and address with the right tools. #calibchat

So true! Thanks for joining us, Colette. #calibchat

In reply to @ccassinelli

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: When assessment includes something authentic - e.g., write a letter to elected representative, rather than a persuasive essay #calibchat

markemoran Sep 28 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Yes. Learning directly from experts is an important life skill. Here are 7 ways. https://t.co/njPzJujtpW #calibchat

People research every. single. day. They just don't realize it's research.
In reply to @KatieJMcNamara

markemoran Sep 28 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: When kids embrace the wrong way to research ("getting by" with Google), it is hard from them to learn the right way. #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 What you do after research makes it meaningful. Ss created empathy cards & virtual library after researching Hurricane Harvey. #CALIBCHAT

WRHSLib Sep 28 @ 8:15 PM EDT

In reply to @markemoran

ccassinelli Sep 28 @ 8:15 PM EDT

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:16 PM EDT

I love this idea, Katie #CALIBCHAT

In reply to @KatieJMcNamara

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: I tried to tie in research to current events whenever possible. #calibchat

MindyWilmot Sep 28 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: When the end product is a paper, get Ss to write about a topic that interests them. It CAN be done! #calibchat

iamjaneandrews Sep 28 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Here's a good resource #calibchat https://t.co/Z8OiSJZm72

In reply to @markemoran

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Finding a link that students understand and can relate to is so important #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

markemoran Sep 28 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Yes, Even highly trained lawyers write out "questions presented" before doing any research. #calibchat

In reply to @warrenmedia

warrenmedia Sep 28 @ 8:19 PM EDT

|#calibchat The research process if connected to extreme relevance, is the epicenter of student empowerment and personalized learning.

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Yes - Being able to write a paper is still an essential skills we can't bypass #calibchat

In reply to @MindyWilmot

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: I know that we are talking capital R research. But I am working on making research skills more fun with games and Breakout. #calibchat

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Question 3 #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3.Wanting to focus on inquiry and generating questions. Tried this today. I Like the flow. #CALIBCHAT https://t.co/UGeWTB4qfO #hyperdocs

iamjaneandrews Sep 28 @ 8:21 PM EDT

How about forming informed questions #calibchat

In reply to @jane_librarian

markemoran Sep 28 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: I've seen kids enjoy research w/narrow topics, i.e. one aspect of a person or event, rather than the broader topic. #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Skill set is the same. Might as well make it fun. We synthesize all the time and don't realize it. #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: I want to partner with more teachers and support kids in coming up with their own research questions. #calibchat

_tbrown411 Sep 28 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3. I'd like some of my Ts to learn to love NoodleTools. Last year I got a works cited that was a list of 10 urls. Arrgghh. #calibchat

ccassinelli Sep 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3 I want to try “imagining the perfect source” as shared by @researchwell #calibchat

MindyWilmot Sep 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: We are asking Ss to make contributions to our LibGuides. Found a great book or article? Share with everyone! #calibchat

KatieJMcNamara - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Loving close reading of pictures to generate questions. #calibchat

In reply to @TaraWoodall

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: Inspired by the work of my colleague @smikkelsen, I want to help kids recognize how personal bias affects their research. #calibchat

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:25 PM EDT

That is a great one! I need to talk to the social science department for this! #calibchat

In reply to @KatieJMcNamara

jane_librarian - Moderator Sep 28 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Twitter chats are pretty fast-paced & a bit stressful, but full of great ideas & energy! #CALIBCHAT Glad you joined us

In reply to @iamjaneandrews, @markemoran

markemoran Sep 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Do you mean imaging the words used in the source & using them as keywords? I think it's most important research skill. #calibchat

In reply to @ccassinelli, @researchwell

ccassinelli Sep 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3 I am also going to collaborate with Science Ts on a Peer-reviewed science journal this year #calibchat

iamjaneandrews Sep 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

This is helpful for primary sources dp.la https://t.co/OId2PD06Hu #calibchat

In reply to @jane_librarian, @markemoran

TaraWoodall Sep 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

I want to do this as well. I want students to be familiar with peer-reviewed journals before they head to college. #calibchat

In reply to @ccassinelli

markemoran Sep 28 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Studies (& my life experience) show that 4-7 tools should be used for every research project. #CALibChat
