I would like to know more about information literacy and how we can use that to become smarter consumers.
The video has a lot to do with information literacy. There is more to just the written text of something. There are graphs, photographs, charts, articles, links, gadgets, etc. that are used to transfer information from one individual/party to others. Moreover, there is so much available to a person in this technological age that it is important to have good information literacy skills.
Information literacy is being able to gather information from a multiple of resources and understanding and validating that information.

I think being smart consumers is important and understanding the validity of media information is key. I like your video example of Information Literacy.
ReplyDeleteNice video. It has some great information about information literacy.
ReplyDeleteHi again Heather! I'm looking forward to having another class with you. I definitely want to be a smarter consumer too!
ReplyDeleteA great video, music was a bit much for my not yet fully caffinated brain so I turned it way down. One more cup and I should be good to go!
ReplyDeleteSo, I will be having both classes with you this summer! Once again, I love that you are math! I also love that you are in my "comfort town" of Mannington!!
ReplyDeleteI think I had a class with you also. We used to have a retail store at home (cleveland) that a smart consumer was an informed consumer. I believe that can extend to information literacy as well.
ReplyDeleteHave had both undergrad and grad classes with you! Looking forward to being your peer yet another semester:)!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to continually "see" familiar faces. I agree that being a smarter consumer is vitally important.
