This activity was one I enjoyed doing, even though it was challenging.
I really liked the idea of using current information. I realized the importance of relating information being taught with real-life experiences. This simply means that during the teaching-learning process students need to be assessed based on processes, performances, and products that they can do once they leave school, to be able to function in today's 21st Century Society.
There are quite a few skills that students will need to conduct a simple research: knowing how to -
1. search for information on the web using key words or phrases
2. use tabs and links on pages
3. select only the appropriate information on the page for the specific task
4. analyse the information
5. present the information in a clear, brief, and creative way
6. assess their own ability in using the information appropriately
Formative assessment and summative assessment of information literacy can both use the same tool, e.g. a rubric, checklist and rating scale. however the purpose for all using the tool vary according to the different stages of the task and skills to be developed.
In addition, the rubric itself can be created first then used in parts to just be a checklist or just be a rating scale.
Finally, information literacy involves:

Finally, information literacy involves:
- communication
- collaboration
- writing, reading and numeracy skills
- critical thinking
- problem solving
- creativity
- authentic learning
- ICT
It is then concluded that the effectiveness in using web sources depends on the way learning is assessed.
