This picture shows an easy way to understand how information fluency can be communicated. Information Fluency is the ability to locate, evaluate, and ethically use information.
I enjoyed watching this video about Information Fluency. It really gave you a good idea about how many people, college students in particular, knew very little about information fluency.
Throughout Learning Module 3, I found out what the "deep web" is and why it was so important. This picture displays a very easy way to understand how the deep web works.
I learned about search strategies and how to find better results for the things that I research. When searching using search engines, often leave out words like "what, how, a, if, etc.". Information Literacy plays an important role when researching or using a search engine.
Throughout Learning Module 3, a very common topic that came up was "digital reputation". Your digital reputation is extremely important and plays a huge role in your life today during this technological era. You want to keep a very good digital reputation clean. For example, if you are going to apply for a job, they will be checking up on your social and personal life. They will most likely look up your facebook or twitter profile and see what you post. If you post inappropriate pictures or you doing illegal things, it's almost a guarantee you will not be hired. It is very important to keep those pictures or videos or posts off of profiles or accounts on websites that anyone can see.
The camera crew asked the college students about what "IF" stands for, what information fluency means, and what reliable websites they use to find information. Almost every single person answered incorrectly. The only one they understood or had similar answers on was the reliable search question. They all felt Wikipedia and Google had the best results for finding information.
We also learned about 21st Century Skills. These skills include ways of thinking, like critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and creativity. Another skill is ways of working through communication and collaboration.These skills also include having the ability to evaluate the quality of information presented.
