Information literacy is a complex subject that finally arrived at the
doorstep of school libraries. This book inspires librarians to teach
literacy at all levels.
For decades academic researchers have been trying to capture the
essence of information literacy, its educational, cognitive and civic
value.
The collection of book chapters offered in _We Can Teach That_ is a
handbook that can be used as an inspiration for teaching various types
of literacy: visual, digital, multicultural, health and more. The book
asks important questions: When do we start teaching information
literacy? How do we teach it? How does it affect our students at their
education level? How does it prepare them for their post high school
adult life? Does it impact their transition to college or career?
Dziedzic-Elliott and her collaborators provide a range of best
practices and concepts that inspire thinking about teaching
information literacy at all levels. Although written with school
librarians in mind, the book can be easily adapted by teachers, school
administrators and even public librarians who are looking to
incorporate information literacy elements in their daily practices.
The book challenges the reader to rethink what they know about digital
or tech literacy, breaks some stereotypical concepts about
multicultural literacy and highlights the importance of literacies
even in adulthood.
