This week in Information Literacy classes we have continued our unit on Digital Citizenship, looking at how to read news online, how what we do online leaves a digital trail or track, evaluating what we see online to know if it is real or fake, and how to chat safely online. We also talked about friendship and communication by listening to the story of Owen and Mzee, a true tale of a remarkable friendship between two very different creatures. Students discussed how there are different ways to communicate and help each other out.
