Information literacy

shared by Tania Hinojosa on 25 Feb 12 - Cached
  • In today’s technology-rich environment, physical access to information has never been easier. Intellectual access however, can be denied to the student who does not possess the cognitive strategies for selecting, retrieving, analyzing, evaluating, synthesizing, creating, and communicating.
  • The accepted definition of literacy has evolved from being able to read and write to the expanded and more elaborate ability to address the practices and outcomes of education in the Information Age. Literacy is referred to in different terms: math literacy, reading literacy, media literacy, print literacy, visual literacy, cultural literacy, computer literacy. Each literacy prescribes a particular process by which that content area can be more easily negotiated. But there is one -- Information Literacy -- under which all the other literacies reside because it is a tool of empowerment. Students who possess information literacy have a heightened capacity for doing meaningful, relevant work. "Regardless of where information literacy skills are employed, they are applicable in any school, play, or work situation."

  • to construction and discovery - Instead of absorbing knowledge as it’s delivered by a teacher, the student constructs new knowledge. He learns by doing.
  • From teacher-centered to learner-centered. - Focus is on the learner, not the delivery-person. Instead of transmitting information, the teacher now creates and structures what happens in the classroom.
  • From absorbing pre-selected facts to discovering relevant information - This demands higher-order thinking skills such as analysis and synthesis. From school-based to life-based learning - A learner’s knowledge base is constantly revised through life experiences, and schools can prepare students for this eventuality. From uniform instruction to customized learning - Students find personal paths to learning. From learning as torture to learning as fun - The student is motivated to learn, and feels more responsible for his progress. From teacher as transmitter to teacher as facilitator.
  • When technology is responsibly and effectively used in the classroom, students learn faster and in more depth.

      Some of the future work skills for the year 2020. I think I'm trying to deal with two of these skills right now: new-media literacy and virtual collaboration.
  • Here are the skills:Sense-making. The ability to determine the deeper meaning or significance of what is being expressedSocial intelligence. The ability to connect to others in a deep and direct way, to sense and stimulate reactions and desired interactionsNovel and adaptive thinking. Proficiency at thinking and coming up with solutions and responses beyond that which is rote or rule-basedCross-cultural competency. The ability to operate in different cultural settingsComputational thinking. The ability to translate vast amounts of data into abstract concepts and to understand data-based reasoningNew-media literacy. The ability to critically assess and develop content that uses new media forms and to leverage these media for persuasive communicationTransdisciplinarity. Literacy in and ability to understand concepts across multiple disciplinesDesign mind-set. Ability to represent and develop tasks and work processes for desired outcomesCognitive load management. The ability to discriminate and filter information for importance and to understand how to maximize cognitive functioning using a variety of tools and techniquesVirtual collaboration.

  • Abstract
  • According to the American Library Association (ALA), an information literate person is able to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information." The acquisition of information literacy skills is an important step in developing life-long learners in an increasingly complex, technology-based learning environment.

  • The problem, I began to realize, was my own understanding of how the iPads should be utilized in the classroom. I had seen them as a supplement to my pre-existing curriculum, trying to fit them into the structure of what I’d always done. This was the wrong approach: To truly change how my classroom worked, I needed a technology-based redefinition of my practic
  • Redefine with a goal in mind. When rethinking your curriculum and classroom, identify the goals you have for yourself and your students. I focused on two important goals: increased differentiation and robust, efficient assessment. Next, I asked myself, "Can the iPads help me reach those goals?" Realizing that they could, I redesigned my classroom practice around the goals, with iPads as the infrastructure. Here are a few examples:

  • Based on how Google ranks search results, typing in a question will be more likely to bring back pages with a question for a title.
  • So I have students write down their questions and teach them how to mark them up to create queries, the first step being to identify the significant words.
  • Nouns frequently make good search terms, so students can start by drawing the people, places, and things in their questions.

  • How much are they really learning through their passion for computer-based entertainment? How do we maximise the educational benefits of that passion, without, of course, killing it stone dead? Or - and there will be some who continue to believe this - should education and entertainment remain on entirely separate tracks?

  • Our Flash Jeopardy Review Game tool is by far the most popular tool on the site. With this tool you can create a custom jeopardy review game for use in classrooms, training sessions, or anywhere else a fun, team based review game is appropriate. You can even download the Jeopardy Flash Player file to use games that you have created offline without an Internet connection!

  • SHIFTS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING In an information literate environment, students engage in active, self-directed learning activities, and teachers facilitate students' engagement through a more adventurous style of instructional delivery. Students involved in information literate activities:  --seek a rich range of information sources;  --communicate an understanding of content;  --pose questions about the content being learned;  --use the environment, people, and tools for learning;  --reflect on their own learning;  --assess their own learning; and  --take responsibility for their own learning. These students feel good about themselves as learners, and they leave school feeling passionate about some content.

      Nice to see there are entire projects dedicated to helping all people learn how to research and learn better.
  • Project Information Literacy is a national study about early adults and their information-seeking behaviors, competencies, and the challenges they face when conducting research in the digital age. Based in University of Washington's iSchool, the large-scale research project investigates how early adults on different college campuses conduct research for course work and how they conduct "everyday research" for use in their daily lives... more > What is PIL? >

  • There is clear and widespread agreement among the public and educators that all students need to be proficient computer users or "computer literate." However, while districts are spending a great deal of money on technology, there seems to be only a vague notion of what computer literacy really means. Can the student who operates a computer well enough to play a game, send e-mail or surf the Web be considered computer literate? Will a student who uses computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society? Will the ability to do basic word processing be sufficient for students entering the workplace or post-secondary education?

Will a student who uses computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society?

In too many schools, teachers and students still use computers only as the equivalent of expensive flash cards, electronic worksheets, or as little more than a typewriter. The productivity side of computer use in the general content area curriculum is neglected or grossly underdeveloped (Moursund, 1995). Recent publications by educational associations are advocating for a more meaningful use of technology in schools (ISTE, 2000). Educational technologists are clearly describing what students should know and be able to do with technology. They are advocating integrating computer skills into the content areas, proclaiming that computer skills should not be taught in isolation and that separate "computer classes" do not really help students learn to apply computer skills in meaningful ways.
