This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
Teaching Information Fluency describes the skills and dispositions
of information fluency adept searchers. Readers will receive
in-depth information on what it takes to locate, evaluate, and
ethically use digital information. The book realistically examines
the abilities of Internet searchers today in terms of their
efficiency and effectiveness in finding online information,
evaluating it and using it ethically. Since the majority of people
develop these skills on their own, rather than being taught, the
strategies they invent may suffice for simple searches, but for
more complex tasks, such as those required by academic and
professional work, the average person s performance is adequate
only about 50% of the time. The book is laid out in five parts: an
introduction to the problem and how search engine improvements are
not sufficient to be of real help, speculative searching,
investigative searching, ethical use and applications of
information fluency. The intent of the book is to provide readers
ways to improve their performance as consumers of digital
information and to help teachers devise useful ways to integrate
information fluency instruction into their teaching, since
deliberate instruction is needed to develop fluency. Since it is
unlikely that dedicated class time will be available for such
instruction, the approach taken embeds information fluency
activities into classroom instruction in language arts, history and
science. Numerous model lessons and resources are woven into the
fabric of the text, including think-alouds, individual and group
search challenges, discussions, assessments and curation, all
targeted to Common Core State Standards as well as information
fluency competencies."
