    Media and Information Literacy

    https://www.unesco.org/en/media-information-literacy

    Media Literacy
    According to the Center for Media Literacy, a leading advocacy organization, media literacy
    "provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create, and participate with messages in a
    variety of forms—from print to video to the internet.

    Characteristics 

     Determine credible sources


     Acknowledge biases in media
     Be responsible creators of media
     Open-minded
     Make inferences and think about the deeper meaning(s) of words and details
    How can these skills be enriched, transmitted or conveyed to students or learners so
    they can be adaptive to every changing world and be competitive and be ready.

    Access to Quality Sources


     Provide students a curated collection of quality resources through links in their learning
    management systems or tools like Padlet or Waklet. 
     Provide access to quality content collections like Pebble Go, Epic!, and NewsELA.
     Teach older students strategies for searching for information. 

    Analyze/Evaluate Using Critical Thinking


     Who is the author?
     What is its purpose? (inform, entertain, persuade)
     How might different people interpret this message?
     Are there certain groups of people being represented and/or excluded?
     Were certain details left out? Why?
     Also consider: Are sources cited? Are there grammar and spelling errors?

    Creating Media Content


    Some quality tools for students to use for creating include Seesaw, Google Tools, Canva, Book
    Creator, and Meme Generator.

    Distributing Created Messages Responsibly


    Including monitoring themselves on social media, being critical of media before sharing it, and
    empowering them to create and share media responsibly!

    In the 21st century, media literacy is an essential skill.

    Our children live in a world of powerful 24/7 media. There has been a drastic increase in the amount of time
    children and youth are spending with media over the last decade. Children ages 8 to 18 now spend an average
    of 7 hours and 38 minutes per day with entertainment media outside of school, according to recent research.

    Used well, media can entertain and inform our children in positive ways. However, since most children aren’t
    taught to use media thoughtfully, many media messages contribute to public health issues such as obesity,
    bullying and aggression, low self-esteem, depression, negative body image, risky sexual behavior, and
    substance abuse, among other problems. Additionally, the rise of the internet and social media has expanded
    our access to information, including misinformation.

    Media Literacy education – which teaches students to apply critical thinking to media messages and to
    use media to create their own messages – is a key 21st century skill. Media Literacy is critical to the
    health and well-being of America’s children, as well as to their future participation in the civic and
    economic life of our democracy.

    Our Definition of Media Literacy


    Media literacy is the ability to:

     Decode media messages (including the systems in which they exist);


     Assess the influence of those messages on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; and
     Create media thoughtfully and conscientiously.
    Why Do We Need Media Literacy Education?
    Media literacy education provides us with the tools and skills needed to be confident and competent media
    consumers. Media literacy:

     Expands the concept of literacy, as today’s messages come in many forms and literacy can no longer
    refer simply to the ability to read and write.
     Offers a solution to public health issues, such as body image issues and substance use, exacerbated by
    toxic media messages.
     Empowers all people to engage in a global media environment.

    What is information literacy?

    The term "information literacy" describes a set of abilities that enables an individual to acquire, evaluate, and
    use information. You can think of information literacy as having five components: identify, find, evaluate,
    apply, and acknowledge sources of information. Information literacy is a lifelong learning process, something
    beginning before you arrive at college and developing as you grow. While each skill is individually important,
    understanding how they fit together is essential to becoming an information literate person.

    Why is information literacy important?

    Every day we encounter an increasingly large and diverse sea of information through the Web, mass media,
    and published works. You can find information in many different formats, from an endless number of sources.
    The quality of information varies greatly between the available information choices. Just think of a typical
    internet search; it is common to retrieve authoritative, current, and reliable sources alongside biased, outdated,
    misleading, or false sources. Furthermore, an online search is likely to result in more information than can be
    effectively handled. The sheer amount and variety of information available to us makes information literacy
    competencies important to master!
    Information literacy skills are vital to success in your personal, professional, and academic life. In college, you
    use these skills to perform well on research papers, projects, and presentations. At work you will likely
    encounter situations where you must seek out new information to make logical decisions. In the home, you are
    constantly faced with deciding consumer issues and forming opinions on social and political topics. Each
    situation requires engagement in the information literacy process.

    Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when


    information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively
    1
    the needed information."   Information literacy also is increasingly important in the
    contemporary environment of rapid technological change and proliferating
    information resources. Because of the escalating complexity of this environment,
    individuals are faced with diverse, abundant information choices--in their academic
    studies, in the workplace, and in their personal lives. Information is available
    through libraries, community resources, special interest organizations, media, and
    the Internet--and increasingly, information comes to individuals in unfiltered
    formats, raising questions about its authenticity, validity, and reliability. In addition,
    information is available through multiple media, including graphical, aural, and
    textual, and these pose new challenges for individuals in evaluating and
    understanding it. The uncertain quality and expanding quantity of information pose
    large challenges for society. The sheer abundance of information will not in itself
    create a more informed citizenry without a complementary cluster of abilities
    necessary to use information effectively.

    Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when


    information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively
    the needed information." Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher
    Education.  American Library Association. 2006. (Accessed June 4, 2013). Library
    instruction sessions, LibGuides and the Research 101 course are based on these
    standards. Information literacy skills are essential in today's world. Student
    development of information literacy is a process that spans the entire college
    experience.

    Information literacy is knowing when and why you need information, where to
    find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner.

    Information literacy is the ability to recognize the extent and nature of an


    information need, then to locate, evaluate, and effectively use the needed
    information. (Plattsburgh State Information and Computer Literacy Task Force, 2001)
    http://www.plattsburgh.edu/library/instruction/informationliteracydefinition.php

    Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all


    disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education. It enables
    learners to master content and extend their investigations, become more self-
    directed, and assume greater control over their own learning. An information
    literate individual is able to:

     Determine the extent of information needed


     Access the needed information effectively and efficiently
     Evaluate information and its sources critically
     Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base
     Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose

    Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of
    information, and access and use information ethically and legally

    Zealand)

     Information literacy is…..the set of skills enabling students to


    recognize when they need information, how to competently locate it from
    appropriate sources and evaluate its use and potential. Being able to
    critically evaluate and effectively use information does not just create
    successful students, it makes them independent lifelong learners,
    helping them succeed in the workplace and beyond.
     

    Through IL instruction, students learn to:

     Recognize the need for information and determines the nature and extent of
    the information needed.
     Find needed information effectively and efficiently.
     Critically evaluate information and the information seeking process.
     Manage information collected or generated.
     Apply prior and new information to construct new concepts or create new
    understandings.
     Use information with understanding and acknowledge cultural, ethical,
    economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information.
