We all know that nowadays we are very dependent to technology and by the use of technology we are able to gather some information about what is happening around us. So why is it important to be literate in information and media? What does it mean of being information and media literate person? Are we able to gain some benefits out of it?
Those persons that is media and information literated are able to engage to the digital society and this persons needs to have deep understanding about the value of information and media literacy. But some people have difficulty in learning because of lack of experience in using technology. Being information and media literate person is very important because as I mention earlier it make us able to engage in digital society but not only that we are also able to give or share some correct information to others. For example sharing some weather forecast in facebook as an responsible person you will share the information that came from trusted sites. Being information and media literate person has also a benefit specially to students they may use mobile technologies to graph mathematical problems, research a question for social studies, text message an expert for information, or send homework to a drop box.
Information and media literacy has a very big contribution in education because it teaches us in proper use of different media and proper sharing of information. But also remember that technology has also a disadvantages.
