Information literacy should be a learning goal and should be the need for current, interesting, and revelent information that's constant. Information is instantly available on the internet and it's constantly changing the work of teachers who have the need to teach students how to access and assess all of the materials and resources on the web. Teaching students how to do internet research is very important to literacy and involves how to recogniz and use such high quality electronic information. All of the information on literacy and the information online creates curiousity and enable students to be active readers and thoughtful researcher in a web-based enviornment.
Tech Tool link: LibriVox
This is a pretty cool website; It's very multi-cultural because it has language options on the page. It has the lastest news on LibriVox world tour and the community podcast, new releases on books, and even provides free autobooks. I recommend anyone who wants to read online to try this website out. It looks boring but it has so much to offer. Here's a tutorial video that shows you exactly what LibriVox is all about. Click it:)
Summary & Connection
This chapter is all about researching and evaluating internet information. The internet where you go to learn, teach, and experience the power of technology through search engines and interactive materials and resources. It's a very important chapter because it lets us know how crucial and how exciting it is to have the internet right at our finger tips. If you're going to become a new teacher, this chapter is really helpful because you learn about search engines, plagiarism, and the Florida Sunhine Standards. I'm really looking forward to learning more about them and you should too!
Nice embed of the video! How would you use Librivox in the classroom? The information available to us is vast, but after filtering it for effectiveness, we need to help students learn how to apply it, make it relevant! :)
