Information skills

In order for today's students to function in the 21st century, they must be able to acquire, evaluate, and use information effectively. Today's students must become information literate workers, teachers, facilitators and coaches. Information Literacy Skills emphasize the problem solving, critical and creative thinking, decision making, and cooperative learning that prepare students for the challenges in society. The new curriculum is more than lessons to be taught at a fixed time. It offers the wider window of opportunity to connect learning with meaningful experiences. In collaboration with all classroom teachers, the library media specialist focuses on student involvement, activity and action. Through the integration of process and content, today's learners will be better educated to live in a democratic society.
