  • Apr 21, 13

    States that Media Literacy is " the ability to access, evaluate and create messages in the variety of format either print or not print."

    "The expanded definition for Media Literacy by the center for Media Literacy is:

    I believe the information from this source is credible because it is from a .edu website and because it agrees with other definitions of what Media Literacy is.

    • Media literacy is the ability to understand how mass media work, how they produce meanings, how they are organized, and how to use them wisely
  • Apr 22, 13

    This information is credible because it comes from a .edu weskit and because it also basically states the same thing the other two pieces of information state.

    • Media Literacy is the ability to access, analyze, critically evaluate, and produce   communication in a variety of forms.
  • Online Etiquette

    Fact#2
    Manners and politeness matter in the Digital world too.

    Second column towards the bottom states " Just as face-to-face communication allows unwritten but acknowledged standards, such as taking turns when speaking, courteous cyberspace communication involves important unwritten rules."

    • Internet etiquette is the proper way users conduct themselves in an online environment. It is good netiquette. Good behavior online is proper etiquette. The rules of internet etiquette are implied by social norms, customs, and culture.
    • Digital etiquette or netiquette as it is sometimes called, is a basic set of rules you should follow in order to make the internet better for others, and better for you.
  • Information Literacy

    Fact#3
    The skills and ability to evaluate and use information properly should be consistently taught to students even at young ages.

    • IL skills may be introduced but what is needed is a parallel curriculum in IL forming a strong foundation of a college education.
    • With the plethora of print and  digital information sources available  today, it is incumbent upon both school  and public library staff to rededicate  and in fact, collaborate in order to  impart the skills that enable young  patrons/students to access, evaluate,  and use information in all formats. This  requires a new understanding of  information literacy.

  • Internet Collaboration

  • Apr 22, 13

    States Collaboration is " A working practice whereby individuals work together to a common purpose to achieve business benefit."

    • On a human level, that diversity comes together through collaboration and new ways of beneficial social and economic organization.  At a technical level, it is made possible by interoperability – technology connecting to technology through established technical protocols.  Those protocols, in turn, are developed collaboratively by people, as open Internet standards
    • The students enrolled in a project are all working on a similar topic for a specific length of time.  They use the Internet to share their activities, findings and reflections. In addition to student collaboration, teachers are also be provided with the necessary tools to collaborate with one another.
