What is Information Literacy?
"To be information literate, a person must
be able to recognize when information

In the real world…
• The ability to solve problems &
answer questions using information

ethical/legal issues surrounding the
access and use of information

NEW WORLD: WEB 2.0,
CLASSROOM 2.0, & LIBRARY

In the beginning of the Web
• Static Web sites
• Source of information/simple answers
• Limited media--photos & illustrations
• One-way communication
• Needed design & coding skills
• Needed proprietary software
• Access to a server

Web 1.0 Web 2.0
Read only Read/Write/Collaborate
Web as reading platform Web as publishing platform
Developer authorship Public authorship
Software applications Web as software platform

Classroom Was the World
• Teacher as authority
in all things
• Standardized
curriculum
• Textbooks
• Memorization
• Cursive
• Multiple choice
• “Do your own work”

Classroom 1.0
• Teacher imparting
knowledge
• Group work F2F
• Desktop computing—one to
many
• $oftware licenses
• Email attachments/Flash
drives
• Textbooks
• Poster board
• Little tech integration into
curriculum
• Oregon Trail
• Audience was the teacher &
maybe the class

Classroom 2.0
• Knowledge
everywhere
• Mobile devices
• Online learning
• Collaboration in the
cloud
• Online apps for
writing,
presentations
• Multimedia tools
• Global authentic
• Teacher as guide to
using tools &
technology
• No longer sole
source of information

Why Classroom 2.0?
• Encourage collaboration and
engagement to involve every student in
something that is personally engaging
• More opportunities for content creation
on a broader stage
• Involves the students in a very proactive
learning environment
• It’s the future—school, work, life

Library Research
• Quiet!
• Librarians as
keepers
• Print
• Resources limited to
what was on hand
• Borrowing limits,
often by age
• Stand alone—few

successful integration into schools,
libraries, & classrooms.

Why does information
literacy matter?

Students are content creators

They need traditional & new
skills

To understand their need for
information
Image: 'Q & A 2.0: Nothing Is Off Limits!'

To find & evaluate reliable
information

To draw conclusions & present
information

To prepare
for post-
secondary
education
and

for the global
society &
economy
they will face.

And, because . . .
We limit students if we do not help them
develop and use information literacy skills
across the curriculum.

Technology
• Profoundly affects the way we work,
collaborate, communicate, and succeed
• Changes how people work, play, learn,
socialize, and collaborate
• Explosive growth of mobile devices and
applications drives more—daily—
change

Business & Society
and maybe school
• User-created content
• Social networking
• Collaborative work
• Collective intelligence to solve problems
• Participatory Leadership
• Online civic engagement
• Global reach and influence

Moving (fast) Towards . . .
• Tablet Computing
• Mobile Devices & Apps
• Cloud apps, storage, collaboration
• Collaborative Environments
• Game-based learning
• Personal Learning Environments
The Horizon Report K-12 http://www.nmc.org/publications/2012-horizon-
report-k12

Students are changing
• Technology is how they communicate &
socialize
• Ubiquitous, transparent part of their
lives
• Empowered by being connected to
information & each other 24/7
• Globally connected
• Expect guides not expertshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/8166472@N03/3866208804

If this is what they are used
to…

school?

Students’Expectations are changing
• Want interactive communication
• Use tools in the classroom that they use
in the real world
• 24/7 assignments
• Creativity in assignments
• Hands-on learning
• Real life experience/application
Image: 'pencil case'

Learning Environments are changing
• No longer tied to a physical space
• “Spaces” are becoming more
community-driven, interdisciplinary
• Spaces & technologies that allow virtual
communication and collaboration
• World comes into the classroom
• Flipped classrooms

Access beyond the walls
• Online learning
• ELM and other database access
• Public/academic libraries online
resources
• Virtual collaboration

Will they be ready for this future—which really
is now?

If. . .

WHAT IS MILI?
HOW WILL MILI HELP?

MILI’s Purpose
• Influence how you teach the research
process

incorporate the 3 Rs into teaching
• Help you integrate information literacy
skills into your curriculum

Libraries & Librarians

MILI Focus
• On the research process
• On the resources
• On the tools that make it
happen

The MILI 3 Rs
•Research Process
•Reliable Resources
•Responsible Use

Research
Improve the ability of students & teachers to conduct effective research
by using a process that includes 5 steps
• Question
• Gather & Evaluate information
• Conclude
• Communicate information &
conclusion
• Evaluate process & product

Reliable Resources
Identify & use available, reliable resources
• “Format agnostic”--the format of the
information is not the point
• Evaluate all print, electronic, online,
& human resources for authenticity
& accuracy
• Resource is appropriate in the
context of this research

Responsible Use
Promote the understanding & practice of the
responsible use of information & technology
• Advise & assist teachers in the
creation of plagiarism-proof
assignments
• Provide resources for teaching
responsible use including copyright,
Creative Commons, technology use

By developing research projects that
encourage 21st Century Learning skills
& promote Information Literacy
Creating assignments that encourage
building knowledge, not just repeating
information

Together, we can
• Improve your research project to
incorporate the 5 steps
• Learn Web 2.0 tools that work in
classrooms and school buildings for
collaboration, communication, &
creation
• Share what we know & what we
learn

In-depth use of technology?
Not so much
• Not efficient or effective searchers
• Little evaluation of what they find—don’t
know how to evaluate
• Application of technology limited to
product creation
• Not really using technology to
solve/answer problems
