Hi all,
Thanks to Gabriela Sonntag for posting the Facilitating Information Literacy Education - LinkedIn group
Has everyone seen the report on 21st century skills. It is basically about information literacy and can help us to broaden the discussion.http://www.imls.gov/pdf/21stCenturySkills.pdf
My first reaction is that although the report is about IL amongst other literacies, what I do not understand is the emphasis on 'skills'. Personally I prefer to take a more holistic approach to the way we engage and deal with information (in whichever context) so to me that is best described by terms such as mindset or world-view rather than skills.
Best
Susie
