INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY SKILLS

“Today’s student lives and learns in a world that has been radically altered by the ready availability of vast stories of information in a variety of formats. The learning process and the information search process mirror each other. Students actively seek to construct meaning from the sources they encounter and to create products that shape and communicate that meaning effectively. Developing expertise is accessing, evaluating, and using information is in fact the authentic learning that modern education seeks to promote”

(NC Information Skills Curriculum Philosophy, 1999).
