Do You Have a Link?

If you'll look to the right, you'll see the links I've shared with you. Am I missing anything? Do you want me to know your favorite places on the web? Leave a comment and tell me something I don't know.

Enlighten me. Don't be afraid. Lifelong Learners love new knowledge and I wouldn't want to become a teacher if I didn't love to learn myself.

Information Literacy Tidbit.

Here is my definition of Information Literacy, complete with Sources:

Literacy is a set of learned abilities that enable a person to make critical judgments about accessible information and apply those judgments towards personal, community, and global development.

Yeah For New Things.

Hi. I am Renee. Some call me Eener.

This is a new blog I have created for my literacy skills class, and I will use this, hopefully, as I progress in my education and become a teacher in a few years.
