“In a landscape filled with misinformation, information literacy is more vital than ever. In Developing Digital Detectives, Jennifer LaGarde and Darren Hudgins provide a blueprint for teachers to empower their students to be critical thinkers of the information they encounter. Each lens focuses on the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ with practical ideas that educators can implement in the classroom. The authors provide a bold rethink of information literacy with a focus on the overlap between information literacy and social-emotional learning.” – John Spencer, Ed.D., professor and author
