Have you heard of lateral reading? Lateral reading is an approach for evaluating information that better matches the realities of today's information landscape, increasingly replacing traditional checklist approaches. In support of #MediaLitWk, access this week's Resource Snack Time (bit.ly/rst-latrd) to learn more about lateral reading. Also, Suzanne will be co-presenting with Stephanie Macceca about Lateral Reading at next week's SDCUE Fair, including insights we've learned when collaborating with teachers on research - if you're attending, we'd love to see you there!

Staff Update: MyBib
It's Resource Snack Time! You've maybe tried EasyBib, but have you tried out MyBib? It's worth trying out with students since EasyBib now has a lot of irritating ads. Plus, MyBib has nice built-in tips so that students actually participate in creating citations rather than just accepting incomplete ones that are automatically generated. See more info on this free web tool for creating MLA & APA citations: bit.ly/rst-mybib
