Information Literacy is defined as the ability to define problems in terms of there information needs, and apply a systematic approch to search, locate, apply, and synthesize the information and evaluate the entire process in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. The information that we recive from radio,T.V., magazines, and the web are not equal. Some of the information that we recive are biased,misleading, and out of date. Due to the increasing technology it's very ease to access and munipulate information this will be a growing concern in the next few years. We as teachers need to teach our students that information literacy can be used for academic purposes such as research and group presentation. We also need to let them know that it is used in the work force the ability to find, evaluate, use and share information is an essential skill. A good example on how we can teach this to our students would be consumer decisions, such as which car or home  to purchase, are critical.
