What are Pathfinders? What do they do? A Pathfinder is a digital organization tool. Pathfinders help narrow down what you're looking for by categorizing information by topic and theme. This is very useful seeing as the Internet has endless knowledge and a Google search can give you endless knowledge. Pathfinders are extremely useful for teachers because they are able to create routes through a large amount of resources directly to what students or teachers are looking for. This pathfinder uses the Library of Congress as on of its resources.
What is the Pathfinder Strategy? The Pathfinder strategy is based on moving from the general to something specific. On a Pathfinder home page, you will find familiar classroom topics, while a general theme that is related to that specific topic will provide you with context, structure, etc.
