Reflection - Information Literacy

This course was about teaching students about the 21st century skills that they will need in order to succeed in our growing world of technology. This course showed me why it is so important for our students to have these skills. Student are no longer relying on books to find their information, now they are relying on the internet. The internet is not always reliable therefore students must know how to differentiate. I am now more aware that I need to teach my students how to use the internet before we head to the computer lab. This is something that I have skipped in the past. In the future my goal is to spend more time exploring reliable websites and non-reliable websites with the students. I would like to show my students the non-reliable websites that we found in this course.
