Information Fluency The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The truly dangerous thing is asking the wrong questions. - Peter Drucker, //Men, Ideas & Politics// Questions from the Book:
 * How would you define someone who is "informatoinally fluent"?
 * Why is it increasingly important for today's students to be able to differentiate fact from opinion and examine data for underlying meaning and bias?
 * Can you think of a time when you read or heard a piece of information that sounded wrong to you? How did you go about verifying it?

Other Questions:

 * Do we teach information fluency in our classrooms?
 * If not, how can we fit it in to our teaching?
 * If we do, has this chapter given you any other ideas of how it can be incorportated into instruction?
