Bill and Sheila's Information Literacy Place - 0 views

    • Lisa Keeler
       
      I like Bill and Sheila for creating this great site for infolit!
  • These pages are produced by Sheila Webber, who teaches at Sheffield University, and Bill Johnston, who teaches at Strathclyde University (see who we are and what these pages are for, below). New on 3 September 2006. I am giving these pages an overhaul! The Definitions and models and Standards and position papers were updated today (3 Sept 2006), with new content added and links checked. I also did some content updating of the Resources and the Our views and publications pages, and corrected the links both for those and the Learning and Teaching Resources page. I removed a couple of the old sections (Events and People). The remaining sections were last updated in 2003, but I do intend to overhaul them too. For events, news, reports etc. I recommend looking on my Information Literacy weblog which normally has about 5 entries added a week. Standards & position statements Organisations & resources Definitions and models of IL Learning and teaching resources Research into information literacy IL in schools Conference papers on information literacy Our publications & presentations etc. Relationship between librarians and faculty Information literacy and society

Learning and Teaching Information Technology--Computer Skills in Context. ERIC Digest. - 0 views

  • 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? Will the ability to do basic word processing be sufficient for students entering the workplace or post-secondary education? Clearly not. 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. There is increasing recognition that the end result of computer literacy is not knowing how to operate computers, but to use technology as a tool for organization, communication, research, and problem solving. This is an important shift in approach and emphasis. Moving f

Information Literacy « LibraryNext - 1 views

  • Information literacy has been known by many different names: library orientation; bibliographic instruction; user education; information skills training.  Each has built on the other.  Library orientation concentrates on how to use a physical building and bibliographic instruction and user education on the mechanics of using particular resources.  Information skills training and finally information literacy concentrates on cognitive and transferable skills, such as problem solving, evaluation and communication skills.
