The Team

Nextgen Team

In 2021, a group of Idaho’s school librarians got together with the goal of bringing tools to secondary teachers and librarians to teach students to consider information critically.  They realized checklists to evaluate websites didn’t address the way most people, and particularly students, were accessing information and set about finding a more useful and practical approach.
