Connecticut AITC Why teach about agriculture? America is truly a land of plenty. Superior productivity of American agriculture has allowed our citizens the freedom to pursue other ventures, assured that their food and other raw materials would be amply supplied. Agriculture has certainly been a major contributor to the success and greatness of our country. Our society has grown away from its agrarian roots and is losing a fundamental understanding and appreciation for food and fiber systems. As part of our legacy to our children, it is critical that we leave them with knowledge of the earth, how to care for it and how to obtain its bounties. From traditions of agriculture history to the findings of the latest science, all of the information is valuable to the sustenance of the next generation.

Information Literacy Blog Understanding Information Literacy by Barbara Humes Introduction We are outfitting our schools, libraries, and homes with electronic technologiesbut are we preparing our students and teachers for the onslaught of information that is provided by these technologies? What happens when the student can get more information from the Internet than previously conveyed by a teacher or a textbook? What should a student do when faced with so many informational possibilities? Which of the information is credible and which is not? With the provision of so much more information, and therefore more misinformation, everyonewhether they are in the education system or notmust have not only reading skills and computer skills but information skills, too. What is Information Literacy? The term information literacy, sometimes referred to as information competency, is generally defined as the ability to access, evaluate, organize, and use information from a variety of sources. Being information literate requires knowing how to clearly define a subject or area of investigation; select the appropriate terminology that expresses the concept or subject under investigation; formulate a search strategy that takes into consideration different sources of information and the variable ways that information is organized; analyze the data collected for value, relevancy, quality, and suitability; and subsequently turn information into knowledge (ALA 1989). This involves a deeper understanding of how and where to find information, the ability to judge whether that information is meaningful, and ultimately, how best that information can be incorporated to address the problem or issue at hand.
