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:
