Thing 1 - Understanding Information Literacy

The article from Techknowlogia called "Information Literacy: How does it differ from traditional or computer literacy?" is the article that made me think about the concepts that we deal with. Information literacy takes the mechanics of reading and writing, plus the skills of finding and understanding information, and the art of collaboration, and meshes them into a new form. The result is the ability to solve problems and take advantage of information technology and networks. The challenge, of coures, is to bring our students up to speed, and our teachers also.
