"Today's educators and K-12 students need to be information literate: to be able to locate, evaluate, use and share information. California State University notes several specific reasons for students to be information literate:
* So they can successfully navigate through proliferating information resources
* To improve their quality of education
* To learn additional tools to reinforce course content
* To enhance lifelong learning." from Information Literacy for K-16 Settings

Keep Literacy in mind as you examine innovative applications of functions. Don’t get caught up in the tools – they constantly change.
Two questions* to ask before using a tool:
1) What are the unique capabilities of this tool that can’t be done without using it?
2) What can I do better instructionally than what I could do without it?
