Finding information: Locating relevant information not only from a local library or newsstand, but also from the Internet. Literacy includes the ability to identify needed information, use Web searching tools to find it, and employ research strategies that expose the best information.
Decoding information: Beyond decoding text, literacy requires reading deeply for meaning in multimedia content.
Evaluating information: It is critical that students learn to evaluate the information they encounter, and also identify its value in terms of their goals.
Organizing information into personal digital libraries: A key strategy for handling the overwhelming amount of information available to us is the construction and cultivation of personal digital libraries. When we create and organize information that is relevant to our ongoing interests and goals, then we can handily find answers to our questions.
