My PerspectiveMy Perspective• In an information rich society, we
need to be trained how to decide what information is important and which is not ( ( this is “information literacy” ) “information literacy” )
• Students NEED trained professionals to guide them in how to use information – both print and digital
• Teachers should integrate the use of technology daily into their lessons at every grade level
