  • 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.

  • et, as with all technological advances, the impact on the lives, minds and feelings must be weighed and considered.
  • Japan’ high literacy rate suggests that most of the millions are probably spending time reading more, and more widely, on the Internet.
  • The Internet will continue to change our society in fundamental ways.

    > 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.

  • The new literacy means being able to function in and leverage the potential of easy-to-create, collaborative, transparent online groups and networks, which represent a "tectonic shift" in the way we need to think about the world and our place in it (Shirky, 2008).
  • More than ever before, students have the potential to own their own learning — and we have to help them seize that potential. We must help them learn how to identify their passions; build connections to others who share those passions; and communicate, collaborate, and work collectively with these networks. And we must do this not simply as a unit built around "Information and Web Literacy." Instead, we must make these new ways of collaborating and connecting a transparent part of the way we deliver curriculum from kindergarten to graduation.

    View PDF for full text, but here is some of the things I would highlight: > And like anything on the Internet, it makes "consider the source" the best possible advice for Internet users.  > We need to focus on the media literacy skills necessary to decode images, and therefore empower students to make decisions about the validity of multimedia as well as text content.  > While all of this obviously increases the likelihood of students being  misled by misinformation, the other side of the story is the tremendous opportunity it provides for students to find an authentic audience for their own work.

  • Although literacy learning on the Internet involves the basic processes of comprehending and writing text, it differs from print-based literacy
  • Reading and writing text online is highly interactive. Writing becomes more fluent as students engage in online dialogues
  • Information research becomes a critical reading process useful for sorting through volumes of online texts to find and synthesize reliable data, rather than a memorization of the print encyclopedia.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Reading through hypertexts or interactive multimedia is an active process in which the reader develops an internal narrator who synthesizes meaning and decides which link to follow next and why.
  • I had seen and heard much about the impact of computers on literacy, but the Internet seemed to make a quantum leap over word processing and interactive multimedia CD-ROMs.
  • Teachers said they observed that Internet-based activities make reading enjoyable for students
  • Internet use enables students to engage in collaborative discussions and authentic information research experiences that enhance understanding of content.
  • Our results also indicated that higher-order literacy skills, such as organizing information research around a research question, comparing and contrasting, and evaluating and synthesizing information into new and meaningful structures, are important uses of the Internet in literacy education.
  • found three primary areas in which the Internet provides curricular benefits.
  • fostering self-directed literacy learning habits among students, which researchers and teachers indicated are not only vital to, but also achievable through, Internet-based literacy learning.
  • This chapter includes a discussion of the vital role the Internet plays in literacy education for students growing up to live and work in networked cultures of the 21st century as well as historical and cultural technology trends that influence the current nature of literacy and approaches to learning.

    I found this through a Google search, but it's an excerpt from an actual book about literacy and the internet, so I thought this would be a credible source to use. Has a lot of good information on a study that was made. APA Citation: McNabb, M. L., Thurber, B. B., Dibuz, B., McDermott, P., & Lee, C. (2006).

    I believe by showing the definition of the term literacy, that it's not only reading and writing, but knowledge in a topic itself, we can prove that the internet has much to offer on learning about specific subjects; when of course making sure the sources are credible.
