 8 September annually is International Literacy Day.

There are several sources of literature review but few sources will be explained here.

Library: Library is a home of books both printed and non-printed. Anyone can pay a visit to a credible library such as one in your school (Academic), National Library (Abuja), State Library, Private Library (TLF’s Library in Edo State) or special library like that of Olusegun Obasanjo’s in Ogun State, depend on what you are searching for.

Borrow: You can borrow books and other materials from friends, family even teachers if you consider that they have such materials.

Internet: this is the most recent source of literature for projects especially in Nigeria because the internet contains millions of academic database and other valuable sources of information including journals and blogs. Just search you key words appropriately.

Newspapers and Magazines: Newspapers and magazines are good sources of literature and data for a research. Newspaper offers news and other information that researcher can borrow ideas from. In fact, those doing content analysis use newspaper often.

Journal and Conference Papers: Researches and write ups published in a journal or presented at a conference offers valuable materials for a research. In fact, it offers empirical information for new researchers who may want to know what has been done in the area.

(We recommend you watch Sir Ken Robinson (2010) on Ted Talks titled “Bring on The Learning Revolution” and “Build a School in the Cloud” by Sugata Mitra).

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it.
