Candice- Digital literacy

All information is not equal therefore we must be able to evaluate information across a range of media.  All information is not accurate so we must be able to synthesize the information for our students and in turn teach them how to do the same thing.   For several reasons the information is definately worthy of our attention.  The main reason the information is worthy of our attention is because it gives us several different points of view to investigate.  During the investigation process we are able to cross reference information and thus use the information effectively.  As we learned, in order to meet the needs of a changing society we must teach a variety of new skills to our CTE students.  I try to incorporate some form information literacy in my clasroom daily.  I do things such as have their warm up activity to be looking up an article related to our class topic, or having a class discussion for my closing on a you tube video that relates to our topic for that day or  allowing the students to research the same topic and compare information.  I think that because the students were practically born in the information age they realize that information is everything or almost everything.
