This is a situation many students may find themselves in if they lack the skills they need to decipher between credible sources and “fake news.” For example, sources found through a Google search aren’t always trustworthy. Using or providing sources that aren’t credible could result in very serious consequences. Via Elizabeth E Charles

“Digital literacy involves finding, using and disseminating information in a digital world” (Deakin University, 2016).

Information literacy is the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information and is the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines, learning environments, and education levels. It enables learners to master content, extend their investigations, become more self-directed, and to take greater control of their own learning. Via Elizabeth E Charles, Anne Versonne
