MSLA is pleased to announce the theme for our 2013 SAGE Conference is "Connecting through Literacy." Before, during, and after the Conference we invite you to be part of the conversation about the many literacy initiatives being developed around the province.
Information fluency encompasses far more than the traditional definition of information literacy. To be information literate includes a myriad of other
literacies such as digital literacy, LwICT, media literacy, information literacy, numeracy, and so much more. The concepts of digital citizenship, personal learning networks, English as an additional language, and differentiated instruction are also included.
Our logo, a face created through the manipulation of “information”, is an
excellent representation of the force information has on our lives: information
informs us but it also shapes our personal world views and biases. In short, it
colours the lens through which we perceive our world. Information and literacy
are terms that are intrinsically connected. We feel it is important not to
define the Conference solely to the concept of information literacy and all it
entails but to expand the conversation to the larger concept of supporting
literacy at all levels.
Please join the conversation. How do you define a literate person? What are you doing in your schools to support literacy?
