      This article is here to make us truly think about what information literacy is.  Our model needs to take into account contemporary notions of information literacy.

  •  The projects would be integrated into the classroom’s content areas and be team-taught between the librarian and the classroom teacher.
  • If everyone is to truly become a life-long learner, how are our students gaining the skills needed to use information to solve problems?
    • Kevin Crouch
       
      I think this is the overarching theme here. This should transcend simple research skills.
  • The curriculum would be based on projects that resulted in products using a variety of media and formats.

  • Identify current skills.Our first step was to closely examine our current library and technology curricula and find exemplary models of curricula from other districts.

      This will be our step three, after we find a model/process that is suitable to our values and beliefs.
  • Group skills with in the process.    Our final task as a group of “information professionals” was to group the laundry list of library and technology skills we had identified in Step One within the Big Six process.

      Our step four in the process after we've looked at our own matrix. We will have also reviewed our current process and found a model/process that better fits our needs.
  • we need to involve at least one teacher from each of our buildings from each grade level. We met, however, one grade level at a time with all the media specialists for two mornings during Year Two.    Our first morning was devoted to familiarizing these teachers with the concepts of information literacy and the Big Six process. We did this by asking them to complete a series of information literacy activities including choosing a movie to see, planning a vacation, organizing a Thanksgiving dinner for a visiting family of Buddhists, and helping a son or daughter decide whether to buy a business.

      This will be the PD and implementation phase of this. There is plenty of fertile ground out there and examples of this type of integration already exist. ex. G4 Travel Quests.

Durham District School Board Information Literacy Skills Continuum - 3 views

  • Information literacy is the key to solving problems, acting ethically, planning for the future and preparing for change. Information Literacy includes all other forms of literacy including: "traditional literacy (the ability to read and write), media literacy (the ability to critically evaluate and create media, such as television, advertising, news stories and movies) and numerical literacy (the ability to understand and solve problems with data and numbers)." (Ontario Library Association, p. 3)

      Notice how problems solving is front and center. I also find it interesting how this notion of Information literacy "includes all other forms of literacy". That's a lot to consider.
