Information Literacy Standards

I have taught kindergarten for six years at Bowdon Elementary School. As I was reading over the Information Literacy Standards, I did not feel that many of them would be applicable to kindergarten students. However, lessons I taught during my student teaching and also assignments created for other MEDT classes provide good examples of lesson activities demonstrating students using Information Literacy Standards. I was also able find several lesson activities on the GA frameworks that were applicable to this assignment. This assignment was very interesting and challenging to me since the majority of my classroom experience is in kindergarten, but I know that one day I may be able to use these activities when I am a media specialist.
