Information fluency model

Information fluency model | Languages, ICT, education | Scoop.it

Digital Information Fluency (DIF) is the ability to find, evaluate and use digital information effectively, efficiently and ethically. DIF involves knowing how digital information is different from print information; having the skills to use specialized tools for finding digital information; and developing the dispositions needed in the digital information environment. As teachers and librarians develop these skills and teach them to students, students will become better equipped to achieve their information needs.

The difference between fluency and proficiency, and what it means for language teachers.

 

Teachers do not want to create illiterate, inaccurate speakers but it is important to know what communicative priorities are.
