Class Summary: October 18
In this class we talked about many interesting new subjects like:
-
Computer Literacy – is known as “the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently”.
What we also talked about was how there used to be this old catalog at the college library where they used cards (Rolodex© type, I’m sure), where you used to get the references and information you needed for thesis, projects or dissertations. Now, with the internet revolution, this catalog no longer exists. Taking it’s place is now famous in campus, Virtual Library. This virtual library is part of many academic institutions in the metropolitan area where they share information.
We also learned that we should not believe everything that the Internet says. Well, if I may, what pray tell can we believe? WHO do we believe in that case? Because if even the British Encyclopedia has errors, than in what text book can we be 100% positive that what we are writing is the truth and nothing but the truth (pun intended).
-
Information Literacy – this consists in enquiring the capability of knowing when or why you need information. You can share, evaluate, even use it to behave in an ethical manner.
