      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

  • This study aimed to measure the proficiency of college-age health information consumers in finding and evaluating electronic health information; to assess their ability to discriminate between peer-reviewed scholarly resources and opinion pieces or sales pitches; and to examine the extent to which they are aware of their level of health information competency.
  • health information resources,
  • 55% of Americans with Internet access seek health information online
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • A sample of 400 college-age students was selected because this cohort is the first Information Age generation that has been exposed, for up to one-half of their lives, to the Internet.
  • How proficient are university students at searching for and evaluating health-related information? How well do they understand the difference between peer-reviewed scholarly resources and opinion pieces or sales pitches? How aware are they of their own level of health information competencies?
  • Today, health consumers are actively seeking information and using it to make health decisions
  • Individuals with less education and exposure to information-related activities are expected to have even lower health information competencies than our study participants

shared by Michelle Munoz on 22 Feb 12 - Cached
  • Make informed decisions. Information literacy will help your children acquire relevant information and filter out biased or unreliable information
  •   Encourage, support, and guide your children in exploring their interests. Point them to various resources—such as printed materials, videos, and computers—that they can use to find out about the things that interest them and to communicate their ideas and feelings.
  • Use "The Big Six" to help your children with their homework. Help them (1) determine what is expected from their homework assignments, (2) identify the resources they will need to complete the tasks, (3) locate and access the needed resources, (4) read or use the available information, (5) apply the information to the tasks, and (6) evaluate the quality of their final product. In addition to helping your children master subject-area content, "The Big Six" helps them develop information problem-solving skills

  • 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.

      - the use of manipulatives (#8) is very important as it helps young children who are feeling uncomfortable with their lack of English to gain confidence that they know what the other students are talking about as they can rely on their visual abilities as opposed to their language abilities

      A lengthy British document discussing why and how to improve student's writing.  Yet, thankfully the execuitive summary on pages 10-13 are nice and short! I thought the conclusions on page 12 provided some good food for thought!

      I think that this article provides a wealth of information pertaining to not only why writing skills are important, but what changes schools should implement to make sure that teachers are using best teaching practices. For starters, it shouldn't be assumed that all teachers write well themselves!

      the case for interactive textbooks
  • Done properly, interactive textbooks offer not only video tutorials, more personalised instruction, just-in-time hints and homework help, but also instant access to assessment tools, teaching resources and the ability to network socially with students elsewhere.
  • Using tools for highlighting and annotating virtual flash-cards, students can select information within the text and store it for later revision. Searching public databases, direct from within the textbook, is also possible. At school, students can sync with their teachers’ computers, to hand in their quiz results and homework for marking.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • if software is to be used as a teaching aid (called “blended learning” in pedagogical circles), then it should seek to balance the need for correct answers with the freedom to take risks and break rules. “If you’re not prepared to be wrong,” Dr Robinson preaches, “you’ll never come up with anything original.”
