3. 21st Century Skills
Information Literacy
Access and Evaluate Information
• Access information efficiently (time) and effectively (sources)
• Evaluate information critically and competently
Use and Manage Information
• Use information accurately and creatively for the issue or problem at hand
• Manage the flow of information from a wide variety of sources
• Apply a fundamental understanding of the ethical/legal issues surrounding the
access and use of information

4. A new type of practice
Evolution rather than revolution

5. The ultimate architecture of participation
• Web 2.0 emphasizes content creation over content
consumption
• Information is liberated from corporative control – i.e.
traditional content owners or their intermediaries
• Anyone can create, assemble, organize (tag), locate and share
content

6. Relinquishing control
• Information is meaningless unless it can be remixed and
repurposed

7. As content creators
• Opportunity to construct and organize knowledge
• Increasingly independent learners
• Active knowledge generators
• Manage their own learning experience

12. What about Wikipedia?

kind of systems and tools are available
• Invites self-policing, community watchfulness, leading to an
evolutionary selection process

13. Conflict with copyright

perceived misappropriation
