Since I am a math teacher, I do not usually think about research papers. But my students sometime do need to create a project or do a short research paper. In such cases, I need to know the process of doing a research paper to help them.
Last year I had my students do a unit about Hmong embroidery, but I did not have the knowledge that I have today with Web 2.0. So I had them do in the traditional way of research. I believe that knowing something about web 2.0 would help them because when I did the attachments from Delicious, I compiled some available sites for my students.
Being with MILI, it opens my eyes to a new view of information literacy. I, as a math teacher, can also use the technology to support my students. Since many people acquire, create, and share knowledge and information through the web, I need to know how to protect my students and to be aware of what are available to them.

Great comments--it is sometimes hard for people to see how information literacy "works" with math and science but you have made the connection. Thanks for sharing.
