Campus STaR Chart Findings
Expanding the Definition of Literacy
“The very nature of information has changed in the past decade. It has become increasingly digital, networked, and overwhelming...Students must know how to use appropriate tools to find information, decode it, evaluate the information to determine its value, organize the information to add meaning, process, analyze, synthesize, manipulate, mix and remix the information, and then express their findings in compelling ways using appropriate modes of communication.”
-David Warlick
