Info-Literacy – students will….

• Be able to employ ICTs to find, process, organize and communicate information.

• Understand and respect copyright and intellectual property laws.

• Be confident that they have the skills to find and use information to build knowledge; above all else, find knowledge fascinating; to WANT to learn so as to know.


Interesting facts…..

• Students retain:• 10% of what they read • 20% of what they hear • 30% of what they see • 50% of what they see and hear • 70% of what they say • 90% of what they say and do.
