capps 2011 integrating information literacy in the curriculum
DESCRIPTION
Information literacy may be referred to as critical thinking skills, research skills, 21st century skills, or lifelong learning. No matter what term is applied, information literacy is fundamental to making sense of the global explosion of information available today. This workshop concentrates on information literacy in the classroom and explores tools that integrate the library with the teaching and learning process. During this workshop, we will identify and review online resources that focus on fusing library and information skills with instructional technology and that aid individuals in obtaining digital literacy.TRANSCRIPT
