Competency #3 Information Literacy


Competency #3 Information Literacy
Information Literacy are abilities necessary to evaluate what is needed, how to locate that need, evaluate then apply what was found. These processes involve;
· Resources available to the individual
· Research to obtain needed tools, information and formatting devices
· The necessary multimedia uses to show the research results in a publishable format
The resources that I personally use are the centuries old designs left behind by my Native ancestors and in the stories that are passed down through the generations in an Oral format. The most common places for my research to begin is with the elders of the community, libraries, and the physical items left behind, such as the carvings in museums and in private collections around the world. These collections are easily accessed through a computer via the World Wide Web. The data collected by me can then be applied through my carvings in wood, paper prints, and just recently, Story telling that will be made into mini movies and posted on the web. Information Literacy involves, resources, research, and finally formatting that data into a finished product to be viewed by the population of the world
