This lesson was designed to help teachers, parents, other staff and children to understand the importance of teaching information literacy. It is to highlight the various invaluable lessons that ALL can learn from implementing and effectively incorporating information literacy into the mainstream curriculum. In this session, we will look what information literacy is, and why it is important to teach our students skills that strengthen their information literacy skills. We will look at a framework for information literacy that delineates these skills and examine some online resources that contain tools to help us teach these skills.
