She might even be able to submit the photos to CNN or CBC

What is INFORMATION LITERACY?
• our ability to identify:– WHAT information is needed; – understand HOW the information is organized; – identify the best sources of information for a given
need or WHY the source works for you;– locate those sources (WHERE); – evaluate the sources critically by looking at WHO is the
author; – and share that information WHEN your teacher
collects the assignment.

How did I do?
![Page 33: Frankenstorm 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062812/56816403550346895dd5a749/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why do you and I need good INFORMATION LITERACY SKILLS?
• We are surrounded by a growing ocean of information in all formats;
• Not all information is created equal: – some is authoritative, current, reliable; – some is biased, out of date, misleading, false;
• The amount of information available is going to keep increasing so …
• So we need a way to distinguish between what is GOOD INFORMATION AND WHAT ISN’T.

THIS IS CRITICAL THINKING
• Is the ability to find a fact or a piece of information;
• Show that it’s relevant (important);• And then ...– show how or why it is relevant.
