  • Julien has studied the need for critical information literacy skills and how these skills can be learned and appliedInformation literacy is actually a refined term for an old concept that librarians have modified to fit the staggering range of information sources available over the Internet.
  • "Accessing good information is critical to skill development."Julien notes that an Internet search on a specific topic can generate results that lead to high-quality sites with legitimate content, but the better information sources can often get buried in a lengthy list of less reliable results.

  • Margaret Atwood, one of Canada's top writers, told a Toronto audience Monday that Twitter and the Internet help literacy.
  • "Thanks to the rise of the internet and of social media, 'I would say that reading, as such, has increased. And reading and writing skills have probably increased because what all this texting and so forth replaced was the telephone conversation,' she continued. 'People have to actually be able to read and write to use the internet, so it's a great literacy driver if kids are given the tools and the incentive to learn the skills that allow them to access it.' "

    > The Internet makes available many applications that help build reading  and writing skills, many of them free. In many cases, applications are so easy to use that learners can use them independently, with perhaps just a little guidance from someone more knowledgeable about reading and computers.  > The benefits are easy to see: when a person uses online resources to develop literacy skills, it also builds confidence in using computers and helps the learner to master digital literacy skills.  > View all the online sources that help with literacy that are available online.
