Computer literacy is the knowledge and understanding of computers and their issues.
Information literacy is knowing how to find, analyze and use information; being able to gather information from many sources, decide what is relevant and then being able to organize it in a way to help the reader male decisions/take action.
Integration literacy is the ability to use computers/other technologies combined with a variety of learning strategies to enhance students’ learning; matching appropriate technologies for the students’ learning objectives.
All three are different forms of literacy for the 21st century learner. Computer literacy is the basics of it all, the backbone. Information literacy can be seen as the student’s role/responsibility, while the teacher must provide the Integration literacy. As the teacher, we must guide the students to meet our objectives with the appropriate technology and teach them proper information literacy in order to succeed in the 21st century.
With the help of Professors like Dr. Smirnova I hope that I know that I will be able to transition from information literacy to integration, and provide my future students with the best 21st century learning environment!
