“The definition of information literacy has become more complex as resources and

technologies have changed... Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, textual, and

technological, now join information literacy as crucial

skills for this century.” (Hamilton)

“Times have changed; using Web 2.0 tools... students can collaboratively locate, evaluate, and share relevant Web-based

resources... Typical Web 2.0 style services can include blogging, user tagging, RSS

feeds, wikis, user ratings, user comments, video and photo sharing, community

citation services, social bookmarking, and microblogging.” (Berger)

“College students, who grew up with technology, are ‘digital

natives,’ while librarians, many having learned technology later in life, are ‘digital immigrants.’”

“This is where critical thinking and information technology

skills spell the difference. There had never been a more

opportune time for libraries and librarians to make their

presence felt... than being in the midst of all the chaos brought

by the openness and read/write platforms provided by Web 2.0.”

(Lapuz)

“Students can connect via email, Skype, collaborative documents, and discussion

boards with students in other countries. Teachers can reach out to classrooms around the

world through collaborative Web sites, both presenting and

collecting information to bring a global perspective to the local classroom, to each student of

the world.” (Fredrick)

“Today’s electronic documents allow collaborators to work in a synchronous environment on a

single document; groups of students can create, share, and edit them online. Students can

connect with each other and explore how their interests and abilities can be used to enhance

class projects.” (Berger)

“Technology in and of itself will not create more engaged

students or better students. However, well-chosen technology resources infused into classroom

instruction can create more engaged and better students.

Given the choice of having students create content or simply absorb content through reading, listening, or viewing, I will choose

creating content every time.” (Byrne)
