What are the characteristics of creativity/information literacy today?
In today's digital world where people are creating information online at a rate faster than we can imagine, it has made the task of teaching information literacy to our students even more crucial. With the shear number of pages on the Internet and the millions of people creating content, it can be very overwhelming for students to sift through.
Students still need to know the basics of how to assess the validity of a web resource, but they need to be even "smarter" about it now. They need to be more critical and learn to be educated consumers about the information they are presented with.
How has it changed and stayed the same?
The shear volume of information is what has changed this connection. The ability for people to create information at the click of a button, forces students to be more critical thinkers and problem solvers. Students need to understand the importance of the analysis of the information they come across. The manner in which we teach them about information literacy is still the same.
