In learning module 3 I learned a lot about information fluency and new search tools/ search engines. I also learned about the deep/invisible web and the search process that goes along with it. I also learned what boolean search operations were, which help make searching the web more efficient. Many of these advanced search techniques aren't known so it was interesting to be able to acquire this new information.
In learning module 3 I think I put a lot of effort into all the web labs that were given. I learned a lot and I hope to continue to learn more helpful tools as the class continues.
New Terminology-
- Meta tags- Keywords within tags.
- Information fluency- The ability to gather, evaluate and use information in ethical and legal ways.
- Meta search engine- Submits a search query to multiple search tools and compiles the search results in one list.

Life/Career and Media/Technology skills required for the 21st century-
In order to have the skills required for the 21st century you must have a digital citizenship. Which means using technology appropriately. There are nine elements involved in this including:
1) Digital Etiquette- Core rules of netiquette
2) Digital Communications
3) Digital Literacy
4) Digital Access
5) Digital Commerce
6) Digital Law
7) Digital Rights and Responsibilites

Also following the steps in the search process and choosing the right search tool will be of help. Some advanced search techniques include; boolean search methods, using meta tags, using meta search engines, etc.
