Information literacies

Alright kiddo, do you ever use an iPad or computer to play games or watch videos? Well, information literacies is like a grown-up version of that. It's all about knowing how to find the right information you need and figuring out what information is true and useful. It's like a game of detective, where you have to figure out what information is important and what's not.

So, let's say you want to learn about dinosaurs. You might go to a website that has a lot of pictures of dinosaurs, but if you want to learn more, you need to use your information literacies skills. You might need to find a different website that has more accurate information or you might need to look in a book at the library. You need to think about where to look for the information you need and how to decide which sources are trustworthy.

Another part of being information literate is knowing how to use the information you find. Maybe you find a really cool fact about dinosaurs, but you need to make sure it's accurate before you use it in a project for school. You might need to check the source of the information and see if it's from a reliable website or book.

Overall, information literacies is all about using your brain to find and use information in the best way possible. It's like a superpower that helps you be a better learner and thinker.
