1. What is the overall value of being informationally literate?
Being inforamtionally literate is going to help you out in the
long run because as a teacher we are going to have to teach
our students how to properly cite. By being able to look up
articles the correct way it is more time efficient. Also, being
literate in information will help you to decide if your source you

are using is credible or not.

2. Why do you as a student and as a future teacher need to know
how to access, evaluate, and use information in the 21st
Century?
It is important as a future teacher to know how to access data
pages and scholarly journals because more then likely you will
have to show your students how to look up this information,
especially if this is their first time doing such a task. Being able
to evaluate the source to see if it is credible will be helpful
because then you can make sure you are providing accurate
information to your students when you look up a topic that you
wish to teach. Its important to know how to use the information
because if you do not know how to access it correctly the
students may think it is the correct way. This could affect them
because in future classrooms because it could cause issues on
finding the information.
3.In what ways is information literacy reflected in the ISTE
standards for teachers?
Information literacy is reflected in the ways of almost all of the
standards. One of the standards makes teachers have an assignment
that deals with looking up and locating research on a computer along
with analyzing what they have found. This is an important standard
because students need to know how to find information on the Internet
in order to write different kinds of papers later in their school careers.
4. What is the relevance of topics such as plagiarism, copyright,
and fair use to information literacy?
The relevance of these topics all relate to one another in some
form. Plagiarism is copying another persons words or work and
not giving them credit. Plagiarism is so serious that you can be
kicked out of universities if caught plagiarizing. If something is
copyrighted that means in order for it to be not counted as
plagiarism if you use that information one must cite it.
5. In what ways has technology impacted the need for increased
information literacy?
Technology has impacted the need for increased information
literacy because without knowing how to access online sources
we would still be stuck in the dark ages using the Dewy Decimal
system in the libraries. The ability to access technology faster
through the internet has helped to make more of a convince
when doing research papers in the classroom as well as helping
with the cost of printing materials for the libraries.
