Unit 3 - Information Literacy, Standards K - 12

ETAP623 : Unit 3 - Information Literacy, Standards (K-12) This page last changed on Jan 23, 2008 by wikiadm1. K-12 Information Literacy Standards The IL standards, established by the American Association of School Librarians for K-12, show the need for today's "Net Gen" generation to access and utilize information effectively. They are broken down into sections to show that literacy (really fluency) in knowledge manipulation is not the only important issue for these children. The break-down shows that being able to use information independently is equally important, as is taking responsibility for the society in which they live. Standard 1 - The student who is information literate accesses information efficiently, and effectively. Standard 2 - The student who is information literate evaluates information critically and competently. Standard 3 - The student who is information literate uses information accurately and creatively. Independent Learning Standards Standard 4 - The student who is an independent learner is information literate and pursues information related to personal interests. Standard 5 - The student who is an independent learner is information literate and appreciates literature and other creative expressions of information. Standard 6 - The student who is an independent learner is information literate and strives for excellence in information seeking and knowledge generation. Social Responsibility Standards Standard 7 - The student who contributes positively to the learning community and to society is information literate and recognizes the importance of information to a democratic society. Standard 8 - The student who contributes positively to the learning community and to society is information literate and practices ethical behavior in regard to information and information technology.
