This presentation will provide an overview of Information Literacy Skills and how they can be embedded in the curriculum using ICT's.

Information Literacy is the ability to:locate, use, present and evaluate information effectively and efficiently for a given purpose or need.

Students need to develop the ability to learn from the over abundant sources of information without becoming frustrated, distracted or bored.

Students need to develop the ability to go beyond finding facts to creating their own understanding of the information.

Information literate students are competent, independent learners. They know their information needs and actively engage in the world of ideas. They display confidence in their ability to solve problems and know what is relevant information. They manage technology tools to access information and to communicate. They operate comfortably in situations where there are multiple answers, as well as those with no answers. They hold high standards for their work and create quality products.
Information literate students are flexible, can adapt to change and are able to function independently and in groups.
