Information Literacy

The North Ayrshire Information Literacy Toolkit (ILT) was launched in 2005 after research and pilots in 6 primary and secondary schools. The Toolkit contains a CD containing worksheets looking at fiction, non-fiction and Internet resources. Although the Toolkit was based on the 5-14 Curriculum, the worksheets be completely integrated with the new literacy experience and outcomes within a Curriculum for Excellence. These experience and outcomes are the responsibility of all teachers and the Toolkit can be adapted to support any topic.

Other authorities can buy this Toolkit by completing this Order Form.
