College students think of information seeking as a rote process and tend to use the same small set of information resources no matter their question.
Information literacy is essential for lifelong learning and empowers individuals and societies.
Our educational system should expose students to information literacy from elementary school through postsecondary education so that it is a habit of mind they can call upon throughout their lives.
Collaborative efforts between faculty, librarians, technology professionals, and others can develop students who graduate with information literacy competency.
The CECER-DLL project is a cooperative agreement awarded to the FPG Child Development Institute of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The initiative targets children who are dual language learners (birth-age 5) and their families across settings such as: early care and education center-based programs, home-based and family child care providers, and Head Start and Early Head Start Programs.
Our blog posts, articles, presentations, workshops, and consulting focus on helping educators weave curriculum, pedagogy, and technology into engaging and rigorous learning.
