Revamped online student literacy programs available now

The Hyperjinks High and Hyperjinks Primary Information Literacy Programs have been redeveloped with new resources for both students and teachers.

The aim of the programs is to develop students’ information literacy skills through a series of games focusing on library, research, and internet skills. The new and improved games highlight different information resources, ways to develop effective search strategies, and how to evaluate information – particularly online.

The new teachers’ package includes examples which complement the interactive games in the Hyperjinks tutorials.

The tutorials are available online.

If you are interested in receiving a hard copy of the Hyperjinks High and Primary programs (either the student or teacher versions) please email Amanda.Valent@newcastle.edu.au
