Information and media skills are essential for students as they transcend the K-12 environment and progress into higher education and the job market. Without skills like understanding how to do online research, assessing the quality of online sources, selecting and using appropriate technology tools, etc., students fall further and further behind, and the digital divide widens. Because of this, it is critical that schools include information and media literacy as part of their overall educational goals for students. This area focuses on information and media literacy and offers help in bringing these crucial skills into the curriculum.
