1. CHAPTER 5- INFORMATION LITERACY
1. What are some of the ways to become a Critical Internet searcher?
-The internet it’s one of the most amazing invents ever, as you can see we take this
class online and it save us a lot of time. We can find EVERYTHING online, since buying
things, jobs, learning how to cook and more. Now days most of the professors ask to
find information around the world, we can read books from different parts of the world
with a click. Start with searching engines good websites, with reliable information. Use
natural language to find more about, be specific, use different ways like phrases,
questions, vocabulary to find out more information. Check every website and with your
criteria chose the best option to relay on, save or bookmark the site you are focusing.
Finally check once again to be more comfortable with your answers. Use common
sense, most of the time what is in the internet it’s not sure to be right, so what I would
suggest is use your back knowledge and write everything you know about the topic in a
piece of paper and then use the internet wisely, so you can compare and be more sure
about what you are working on.
2. Complete the questions on Slide #32
-What effects go beyond your world?
I don’t have any limitations. The only problem that effects me beyond my world is that I
don’t value myself enough, I know I can achieve all my dreams and goals but
sometimes my fear is stronger than me. I just need confidence in myself.
-How can you become a literacy volunteer in your community?
You can help many people, get online and find out more about where you can be helpful
(http://www.floridaliteracy.org, http://aflo.freeservers.com/programs.htm) or call 407)-
246-7110. I would help ESL students, because I have been through that progress when
I came to this country, I would help them to follow a right path. With strength in yourself
and with love to volunteer what you know and confidence that you are giving 100% you
will become a leader.
-What can you learn from Gary’s case about SQ3R and begin an information literate
reader?
I think the SQ3R reading strategy, should be apply for everyone because only
remembering the material or going over very quick before the test it’s not going to help
you succeed. Survey about the material previewing, question yourself what you know,
read more about the material, and recite to yourself. Gary’s case make me feel
comfortable, and even though his counselor said he wasn’t able to be a college material
he perused his dreams and look forward to show his case to other people giving

2. conferences. He shows us that nothing is impossible in life. As I said, first of all search
for details about the assignment the best place where you can find information it’s the
library, take your time to sign up for a library orientation never give up your second
option will be the internet if you learn better visualizing and finally use the computer
wisely.
3. Explain the ways that you would use to conduct an information search.
-I would first write down what I know about the assignment, then I would go to library
and read some books about the assignment, then I would watch a movie about it or a
documentary. Finally I would search the internet to find more information and combine
all of this skills and end up with a great assignment not only rely in the internet.
