The Metadating Game
Metadata –
Often called “data about data”
Record of information describing attributes of a digital resource
The Metadating Game
At your table, brainstorm what information you want to know about each other and create a “metadata record” for yourself that includes 5 categories(10 minutes)
“Searching” our database and discussion(10 minutes)

Digital Libraries in Support of Standards
How Can Digital Libraries Support Teacher Work?
• What do we teach?– National Science Standards– State Science Standards– District Course of Study– Stuff we like!
• How do we teach it?– ISTE Standards (2)
DL Value Added Services
• Vetting of resources• Correlation to standards• Evaluations/Reviews• Browse/Search (2)• Connection to careers
DLESE search by educational standards
• Focus groups guide development
• Plan to expand to more detailed national standards and map to state standards
• A growing number of resources are cataloged to standards
