Grammar of the Internet Information Literacy Note we are just building this area in our web site. If you have suggestions, activities or links please send them to jim@classroomhelp.com The impact of the Internet is powerful and growing daily. It is the information source of choice of a growing number of students, parents and teachers. In his book, seminars and conferences Alan November talks about the need to help students develop an understanding of the "grammar" of the Internet and the skills needed to validate information they access via the Internet. As Alan states in his book; "Too many young people believe if they see it on the Internet, it must be true." At presentations around the world, educators have asked Alan for resources and web sites to help them teach their students to think critically about the Internet. The goal of this area of our site is to provide that resource. We need your help to accomplish that goal. Grammar of the Internet Resources, lessons and ideas Understanding a Web Address Reading a web address can help you understand where you are on the Internet and with whom you are connected. It can also help you find additional resources within a web site. (Arthur Butz Example.)

As we encounter major educational reform in this new millennium, Information Literacy, a concept which has been around since the mid l980's, will become a critical tool which should be an integral part of instruction. It is not an add on, but a tool and a strategy to build communication, critical thinking, and problem solving skills across the curriculum. CSAP and other new testing models require these skills. Library Information Specialists, in collaboration with classroom teachers and other staff, will use Information Literacy Standards as a guide for the instruction and learning which take place in the LIC and continues in the classroom.

Information Literacy: Learning How to Learn The University of Rhode Island The Rhode Island Foundation Teachers in Technology Inititative RITTI Fellows Research Holly Barton Why do we send children to school? Is it to implant certain facts, figures, and formulas into their heads to make students ready to enter the world? Do textbooks contain all information important and relevant for a student to survive in today’s marketplace? Can the curriculum touch upon all of the topics that a student needs to know to be an effective member of society? Can educators provide all the information important for students to know so they can become contributing members of society? Learning doesn’t stop at the school steps and it continues throughout life. To prepare students for the world, we must teach them how to learn. Perhaps the most valuable skill we can give children during their formal school years is the ability to use information to construct knowledge Through the advances made through technology, the walls of the classroom and the library have expanded to include the entire world. Technology gives us physical access to a wealth of information. However, the information housed on servers throughout the globe and in software and print resources is so abundant that finding what they need is a daunting task. Students must possess information literacy to put the information to good use.

I nformation Literacy at Quinebaug Valley Community College "To be prepared for a future characterized by change, students must learn to think rationally and creatively, solve problems, manage and retrieve information, and communicate effectively. By mastering information problem-solving skills students will be ready for an information-based society and a technological workplace." this excerpt and much that follow are taken from the American Library Association's Position Paper on Information Literacy RESTRUCTURING AND INFORMATION LITERACY Research on the restructuring of schools calls for the teachers role to change from a textbook lecturer to that of a coach. Students become active learners who create their own knowledge after interacting with information from a variety of resources. Learning which results from use of multiple resources is often referred to as resource-based learning. Resource-based learning requires that students are effective users of information regardless of format. Print resources such as books and magazines as well as electronic resources such as computer databases and laser videodiscs will be used by students. Students will master information literacy skills when teachers and library media specialists guide them as they use information with a discipline or through an interdisciplinary project. Another component of restructuring, performance assessment, flows from active resource-based learning. Learning is assessed by observing student demonstrations of ability, knowledge or competencies. In a fully functioning performance assessment setting, student portfolios and other assessment techniques are used to measure outcomes or competencies.

Footnotes and References Cited Project Examples work more forcibly on the mind than precepts. Joseph Andrews, by Henry Fielding Introduction and Background "Information Literacy" has become a hot topic in education circles in the 1990's, but it is not a trend on the educational scene that will fade away. Rather, information literacy has emerged as a critical aspect of education as a result of the accumulation of a number of developments in library services and higher education. These developments can be categorized under four rubrics: library instruction, educational reform and student use of learning resources (print, mediated, electronic), use of technology, and assessment. The concept of information literacy has created some controversy because its nature continues to evolve. The central elements, however, seem clear. Information literacy implies a conscious and systematic attention to developing the capacity to define effectively an information need, use research tools and processes to identify and locate such information, assess it, learn from it, and communicate an analysis and synthesis of the information in

Keeping the "Literacy" in "Information Literacy" Doug Brent University of Calgary This is a story about a project at the University of Calgary that serves both to suggest an exciting avenue for literacy education and to provide a cautionary tale about the role of writing centre in an information age. The University of Calgary, like many educational institutions, is in the throes of what we call "strategic transformation." As part of this attempt to rethink who we are and what we do, the university has adopted a list of "core competencies" which faculties are expected to ensure all graduates possess. You can guess what most of them are: written and spoken communication skills, logical reasoning, problem solving, creative thinkingthe sort of competencies that are obviously central to any university's mission. Despite this centrality, howeveror perhaps because of it, because its very obviousness has a "motherhood" quality for which no-one feels the need to arguethe list seems to have failed to capture the popular imagination and is rarely cited in recent strategic transformation documents. But there is good news. One of the eight core competencies, "information literacy," has been taken up for action. The Information Literacy Group, consisting of committed and influential people within the library and the Learning Commons (the University of Calgary's teaching/learning support unit) is determined to go well beyond the standard motherhood statements to pilot-test a comprehensive curriculum-based information literacy program.

Suggested Activities to Reinforce Information Literacy Skills for English 1A and other Transfer Level Classes Activity 1 Students choose a research topic that interests them and develop a list of 20 keywords to use in constructing a search. Have them perform a search in the online catalog using the keywords and report back on which terms and combinations produced the most useful results. Skills developed selecting appropriate search terms and combining those terms effectively to produce useful search results. Activity 2: Ask students to research their topics using at least two different periodical databases (e.g., ProQuest, Infotrac, SIRS, Newsbank) and at least one Internet search engine (e.g., Google, Altavista, etc.). Have students explain (either in writing or orally) where they found the most useful materials and to speculate about why certain indexes yielded better results for their research purposes than others. Skills developed identifying types of information available in library databases and selecting appropriate library databases. Activity 3 Have one group of students compile a list of “good” (i.e., credible and appropriate) websites on a subject relevant to the course.
