Research and Information Fluency

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.

Students:

• plan strategies to guide inquiry.
• locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media.
• evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks.
• process data and report results.
