The Metronet Information Literacy Project is continuing and expanding . . . and becoming the Metronet Information Literacy Initiative.  A great addition to this year’s program is the requirement of “23 Things” — exercises participants will complete in order to become more information/technology literate.

In the first reading I really liked the description of the other literacies: tool, resource, social-structural, research, publishing, media, computer, visual . . .

Fortunately, the second reading  led me to more resources that I can use for the MILI lesson plan website.

The third reading included a great chart:

“The illiterate of the 21st century will be those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

                                                                                                          — Barbara Thierl

“Prepare to learn how to learn.”

“Life-long learning means we need to continually reinvent ourselves.”

“How can we advocate education as ‘national defense’?”

                                                                                                         — Bill George

C = D x V x F > R

Change = Discontent x Vision x First steps > Resistance                  

                                                                                                        – Doug Johnson

“Be an effective change agent.  No one jumps a 20-foot chasm in two 10-foot jumps.”
