Information Literacy

Transcript: Process in which a learner finds, understands, evaluates, and uses information in various forms for global and social purposes. What do I mean by find information? Follow me In the world today individuals have access to endless amounts of information and can receive this information in the matter of seconds. Information literate individuals use many different search techniques and search options to FIND information: Internet, encyclopedia, other people, television, movies, etc. Is it enough to just know how to find information? NO!!! Once information is found it is important to evaluate it critically as well as evaluate the source. Any ole Joe Schmoe can put information on the internet (Wikipedia) According to Angel Kymes a reader must ask, "is the information only one person's unsubstained opinion, or does the information provide evidence of careful, documented research?" Reviewing information is not an innate skill, instruction by the teacher and practice from the student are needed in order to become information literate. Without any understanding of information literacy, a simple history research problem may feel like a daunting task because the student has no idea where to start. So what should teachers do? Collaboration with eachother as well as with librarians to teach students how to locate, interpret, evaluate and record information and ideas. The more students practice these skills the easier research tasks will become. Teachers modeling and talking through the process will give students the chance to visually see and hear the teacher's thoughts as the teacher is researching information. Finally, how do students benefit from being information literate? As a learner students are more likely to be: Independent Planful Metacognitive Self-motivated Disciplined These skills will benefit students when: 1. Conducting research papers 2. Group presentations 3. Making criticial decisions 4.
