The document discusses 21st century pathfinders, which are digital resources that organize and gather various web tools, websites, wikis, databases and other online content to serve as comprehensive guides for students on specific topics. It provides examples of personal learning dashboards and collaborative, web-based pathfinders that teachers and students can build together. It also offers tips for creating and sharing these resources using different digital tools and platforms.
4. It’s an Information Jungle out there! History of Pathfinders: In the 70s we created them in print. I suspect some of us still do. In the 90s we began publishing pathfinders as html web pages. Now, I am convinced that wikis and other collaborative tools (like PageFlakes and NetVibes, and LibGuides, and GoogleSites, etc.) are the way to go. Joyce Valenza
