making sense of the information given
and being able to communicate meaning
“It is not about learning text literacy and visual literacy and digital literacy in isolation from one another but about the interaction among all these.” – Tom Ipri
"As we increasingly move toward an environment of instant and infinite information, it becomes less important for students to know, memorize, or recall information, and more important for them to be able to find, sort, analyze, share, discuss, critique, and create information. They need to move from being simply knowledgeable to being
knowledge-ABLE."
- Michael Wesch
