INFORAMTION LITERACY ( First Week Reflection)

 "FIRST WEEK
     REFLECTION"
                                                                                
“Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand”

    The holidays have gone and we started with our foundation with new spirits and new hopes.  During week 1 we haven’t focused much more on our lessons because, it was the first week. On the first day of class we had an introduction with student and our lecturer after introduction we were able to get knew each other. I was feeling very exhilarated on the first day of class. Then, the lecturer gave us some information about the subject that what Information Literacy is all about. As it is strange for me that I am facing with a subject called Information Literacy and I m-self really interested in this subject and I wish I could learn more about this subject. Furthermore, we learned that what Information Literacy is all about. We learned that Information Literacy is a framework for solving problems and it is the skill how to find the information. Then, we have taught by some examples. Such as: Library literacy, Media literacy, Computer literacy, Research literacy, Internet literacy, Critical thinking literacy. I have learned all these lessons which i haven't know before. The first  of class was very wonderful and exciting. 
    Moreover, on the second day of first week we studied the Big 6 process. Big is a six stage process to help anyone solve problems or make decisions by using information. Then we studied “Information Literacy Process Model” Information literacy process models are - Task Definition, Information seeking strategies, Location and access, Use of Information, Synthesis and the last is Evaluation. These all steps can help us much more when we are having a problem. By applying this process on a problem can solve the problem and give the result positive.

    Last but not least, on the third day of first week we had a Lib session. We went to the lib and the lecturer give us some information about the lib that for what we are coming to lib, what is our aim for coming to lib and so on… Then, the lecturer give us some information about the “Blogger” that how to make a new a blog, how to post in blog and so on … I was feeling very happy and we got familiar with computer lib.
    To sum up it, it was a very happy and wonderful week. We learned much more things and I wish it would help us much more in our daily life. The information which we were taught by our lecturer was very useful and meaningful.

With best Wishes and Regard.
