2. Our Digital Output
In 2003 all the information
online added up to 5 Exabytes
(or 5,000,000,000 Gigabytes)
3. Our Digital Output
In 2009
all the information online added up
to 500 Exabytes
(or 500, 000,000,000 Gigabytes)
Or 13 x the distance between the
Earth and Pluto
= 10,000% increase in 6 years
5. In 2015?
In 2015 (If with the same increase of
10,000% in 6 years) makes 50,000
exabytes
or
1,300 x distance between the Earth and
Pluto!!!
[it's probably at least triple that!]
7. Having access to so much
information
changes the skills
students need to learn.
8. We need Information Literacy skills
(sometimes called Information
Fluency)
We need to:
• ask good questions and to search
smart
• learn how to analyse and evaluate
information
• determine fact from opinion
9. These are the Information
Literacy skills we will be
learning in these lessons
this year
