Information Literacy Program

The internet has brought a wealth of information to the limelight, but not all information is created equal. This is especially the case with the spread of misinformation and fake news. How do we know what we're reading is accurate? How do we go about checking and determining what makes a good source?

Enter the ACLR Framework.

 The ACLR Framework provides six frames to build on information literacy. All of these concepts are interconnected, and are flexible enough that they can be addressed in multiple avenues. The ultimate goal of the framework is to show students how to consume and create information more thoughtfully and ethically.
