learning compared to traditional learning. Students who felt equally about the online
learning and traditional learning performed well in both. Students who preferred
traditional learning performed poorly with online learning.

The overall value of being information literate is more than just understanding
and using resources for school. Being informational literate is something that you will use
the rest of your life, such as the work place. Being informational literate is something that

impacts more than just you, it impacts the world, and being knowledgeable on this
subject is essential.
We have resources that are booming twenty-four hours of the day. We need to
stay on top because this world is quick paced and quickly changing. Media such as
television, radio, Internet and more is always available to us. However, it is important to
note that just because we can access it at any time, it is not always true. It is important to
know how to access information that is reliable and how to check on information when
unsure.
As a student and as a future teacher it is important for me to know how to access,
evaluate, and use information in the 21st Century correctly. It is important now as a
student because I need to be able to access information to keep up with my classes and to
do research. It is also important because I need to have the knowledge to know how to
find information that is accurate and how to identify when it is not accurate. As a future
teacher I need to know how to access, evaluate, and use information in the 21st Century
so that I can teach my students correctly and effectively. I need to be aware of all of the
technologies and resources available such as the Internet, radio, and television and how to
pull information from the large pool of media to make correct statements about what is
happening in the world. It is important to know and be aware because a huge mishap that
happens easily is plagiarism. Whether it is intentional or unintentional it happens all the
time and it is absolutely illegal and unacceptable. As a teacher these skills of evaluating,
accessing, and using information is critical.
Information literacy has reflected in the ISTE standards for teachers in many
ways. There are five categories of ISTE standards. These standards are standards for
students, standards for teachers, standards for administrators, standards for coaches, and
standards for computer science educators. The five standards for teachers are to facilitate
and inspire student learning and creativity, design and develop digital age learning
experiences and assessments, model digital age work and learning, promote and model
digital citizenship and responsibility, and engage in professional growth and leadership.
Information literacy is reflected in the second ISTE standards for teachers, which are
design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments. Which is to test
give the students experience with information literacy and then to test them over it. Also
number four, which is to promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility. This
means to make them aware of all of the resources and how to access, evaluate, and use
information in the 21st Century properly.
Topics such as plagiarism, copyright, and fair use to information literacy are
relevant because they happen so often. They happen because of the large access to the
Internet, television, and radio. They happen because students are not educated on how to
properly access, evaluate, and use the information of the 21st Century correctly. It is
possible for students to plagiarize without knowing. Having someone take your work as
their own is an awful feeling when you have put hard work and dedication into your
piece. It is important as a teacher to instruct and make it very clear to your students what
plagiarism is and how to avoid it. It is also important to let them know how to make sure

if they are not confident if they are plagiarizing or not. By teaching your student not only
will they be a good digital citizen as well as an informationally literate one.
Technology has increased the need for information literacy in many ways. One of
these major ways is social media. There is an increase in need for social media for sites
including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. There is so much garbage posted to these
sites and many more that are largely inaccurate however people believe them because
they are not informationally literate. It is important to teach this and this is the major way
that technology has impacted the need for increased information literacy.
