to enable communities Across the Nation to enrich their lives 5 00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:35.360 through resource and skills that help them to navigate an information abundant 6 00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:42.480 world this is not just the mission of imls as a single federal agency in 7 00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:50.399 2022 imls brought together more than 15 federal agencies with robust information 8 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.879 literacy programs and assistance to form a federal information literacy task 9 00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:02.920 force as directed by Congress supporting local communities has been 10 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:08.080 the focus of the task force engagement and its work and by 11 00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:14.680 extension local museums and libraries are uniquely situated as Community 12 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:20.479 Learning spaces that address their community's unique information literacy 13 00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:26.880 needs information literacy. goov is a result of the collaborative effort of 14 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:33.840 imls and the task force to support you in your efforts to meet the information 15 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.040 literacy needs in your community it is my pleasure to hand off 16 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:46.200 to my colleague Katherine Moss I ls's Chief of Staff whose leadership brings 17 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.960 us to this point 18 00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:58.719 Catherine thank you so much Cindy um for that introduction um my name is 19 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.200 Katherine moss and I'm the Chief of Staff here at imls I'm excited to be 20 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.039 here today to share what is currently on the site and how you can use it to 21 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.440 address Community Information literacy needs in a variety of ways I'm going to 22 00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:17.280 start by sharing my 23 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:25.440 screen go and I want to build on Cindy's introduction um by starting with our 24 00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.080 about page here uh which has more information about 25 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:37.160 information literacy. goov this initiative and also the task 26 00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:43.000 force as Cindy mentioned um this inter agency task force is made up of agencies 27 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.080 that provide comprehensive and robust information literacy programs Andor 28 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.800 federal financial assistance like grants available to communities across the 29 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.239 country for doing this type of work can read more about them 30 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.959 here so so over the last two years um IMS has worked with the task force to 31 00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:08.840 hold convenings and listening sessions to understand what type of resources and 32 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.959 toolkits are available for this work and how we might pull them together in a way 33 00:03:13.959 --> 00:03:18.920 that makes sense and allows for multiple points of Entry we know that some of you 34 00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:22.480 have been working on information literacy related work for a number of 35 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:27.760 years for others this may be brand new or you may not even talk about what you 36 00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:34.120 do in terms of information literacy at all so with this site we aim to provide 37 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:38.400 an approach to building information literacy our journey to information 38 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:45.280 literacy page here here some shared definitions and we know that definitions 39 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.840 can be difficult to to come to so we have sh we are sharing our definitions 40 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:55.079 um so we're all starting in sort of the same place and then also resources and 41 00:03:55.079 --> 00:03:59.959 tools which we'll go we'll go through all of this in more detail here um and 42 00:03:59.959 --> 00:04:04.760 all of this is intended to empower people in communities across the country 43 00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:10.560 to change how we understand analyze and use information about ourselves our 44 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.359 health our finances our use of the internet and the world around 45 00:04:15.359 --> 00:04:20.359 us so currently the site is directed at Museum and Library professionals as 46 00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:26.680 you'll see in the header here to support you all in this work in your communities 47 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.960 but the tools and resources available here can be used used by other community 48 00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:35.400 leaders of other types tackling information literacy 49 00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:39.880 needs the site currently focuses on four areas of 50 00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:45.680 literacy information literacy health literacy financial literacy and digital 51 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:51.240 literacy and Now features over a hundred resources on these topics from lesson 52 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.280 plans and programs to training resources and unique offerings such as a graphic 53 00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:02.360 novel about Miss and disinformation and Interactive about social media 54 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.199 manipulation we will be going through more of these tools and resources in 55 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.880 much more detail throughout the remainder of this webinar but I wanted 56 00:05:09.880 --> 00:05:15.320 to start with a brief overview of the navigation and layout of the site so 57 00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:20.919 from the homepage you can navigate to the journey to information literacy page 58 00:05:20.919 --> 00:05:24.720 as well as training resources for professionals and Community engagement 59 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.960 materials more on those later the individual Pages for information help 60 00:05:29.960 --> 00:05:35.400 financial and digital literacy as we already showed and Community spotlights 61 00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:40.280 click on this one and these are intended to spark 62 00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:45.680 ideas and allow you to make connections to other practitioners so the spotlight 63 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.280 page provides each page each individual page um provides details on successful 64 00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.680 information literacy programs it has an overview and fast 65 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.960 facts here some details about funding size type of 66 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:07.160 community and reach there's a Q&A about addressing 67 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:12.120 Community needs the program's funding and 68 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:18.039 Partnerships measuring impact and also advice on implementing a 69 00:06:18.039 --> 00:06:23.160 similar program as well as contact information as well so we're in the 70 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.960 process of developing and posting more Community spotlights very soon um you 71 00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:31.479 may note when you look through these these current three um they are all 72 00:06:31.479 --> 00:06:36.400 fairly large especially for those of you who are in the very small kind of space 73 00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:40.800 small and Rural kind of space in particular um so we are collecting more 74 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.960 spotlights um to Showcase a wider variety of Institutions and programs um 75 00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:51.160 sharing successful examples Lessons Learned and challenges faced from um 76 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.039 particularly those smaller and Rural institutions and 77 00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:59.919 programs one last important area um before we dive into the indiv visual 78 00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:06.520 literacy Pages um I want to draw your attention to the resource database sorry 79 00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:12.120 resource database page here this lists all of the resources 80 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:16.080 available on the site um so you can scroll through I won't scroll down since 81 00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:20.199 there's over a hundred um but you can scroll through the full list you can 82 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:25.680 search for all of the resources by keyword here at the top and you can also 83 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:32.360 filter um for different types of literacy and also by the language of the 84 00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:37.280 resources throughout this work on the initiative um we have noted how vital it 85 00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:41.720 is to have a foundation of trust and I know talking to some of you that is very 86 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.240 very important um in the the work that you do in community is absolutely 87 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.520 foundational and we wanted to reflect that that importance of trust and 88 00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:57.639 trustworthiness on the site itself U by sharing here under resource 89 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:02.800 evaluation or just went um how we collect and evaluate resources 90 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:08.319 to be included on the site so you'll note here um a primary source of 91 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.440 resources is the task force and you'll see that today we have a guest speaker 92 00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:16.599 from the CDC we also identify resources through 93 00:08:16.599 --> 00:08:20.800 online searches and talking to practitioners um but we'd also love to 94 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:25.639 hear from you if you want to would like to recommend a resource um or ask for 95 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:30.039 particular areas um of of resources that we that you may not see that you're 96 00:08:30.039 --> 00:08:34.599 interested in in having as well and so for all of our potential 97 00:08:34.599 --> 00:08:40.440 resources uh we use five general sets of criteria here first is it from a 98 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.839 trustworthy source is the resource relevant to the 99 00:08:44.839 --> 00:08:50.760 work is it based on objective evidence and is it tailored to its intended 100 00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:56.680 audience and is it accessible 101 00:08:57.040 --> 00:09:02.040 um all of the resources included Ed satisfy at least three of these five 102 00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:07.160 criteria and regardless of of where they land with the criteria we talk about 103 00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:11.480 them um and and carefully consider each resource and and whether it aligns 104 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.920 overall with the purpose um and even if it doesn't meet all the criteria and the 105 00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:20.200 way that we would potentially like is it still worth including because it's of 106 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:25.320 high value in other in other areas and I want to note one important 107 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:29.880 item about the fifth Criterion here is whether it is accessible has a lot of 108 00:09:29.880 --> 00:09:34.640 different meanings um to us and to you I'm sure um but I just wanted to note 109 00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:39.440 the reference to open access and free resources here we have highly 110 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.880 prioritized making sure that the resources we link to are free and open 111 00:09:43.880 --> 00:09:48.519 access but you will see a small number of resources that do require a free 112 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:54.000 account of some kind or a modest fee um and we are continuing to make sure that 113 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.760 we're minimizing resources that have those types of requirements um and also 114 00:09:58.760 --> 00:10:03.120 identify when they do in the description I'll show you an example of a 115 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:08.000 description in a moment if the resource does require an account or does have a 116 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:13.120 fee so that you know before you even click on it um that that will be 117 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.079 required so to kick off our discussion of the more specific literacy pages I 118 00:10:18.079 --> 00:10:23.120 want to share the information literacy page 119 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:28.200 here so you'll see here for all four of these Pages the basic layout um for 120 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:34.320 these pages about specific types of literacy there's a definition at the 121 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:39.519 top a discussion of why teaching these skills is important and the impact that 122 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:46.000 it can have on people's lives then featured resource 123 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:52.079 and um res more resources and toolkits organized roughly by type including 124 00:10:52.079 --> 00:10:56.800 lesson plans and programs I wanted to click 125 00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:00.480 on let's see yeah there's another one I want to click on further on so lesson 126 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.600 plans and programs here more resources including in this 127 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.360 case this is an EPA the game of energy choices um which 128 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:17.639 is a which is an interesting one I've got it open here um and it is a it is a 129 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:22.639 it is a resource about exploring energy choices and thinking about um 130 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.639 understanding better environmental challenges um and impacts on the 131 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.320 environment so that's one example of one of the maybe more unique 132 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:36.360 ones there are training resources for professionals on each on each of these 133 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:42.040 landing pages including data and maps in some cases to help understand literacy 134 00:11:42.040 --> 00:11:45.800 needs in your community which can be really helpful 135 00:11:45.800 --> 00:11:48.040 and interesting depending on what you're working 136 00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:54.959 on I want to call special attention to the communicating science clearly 137 00:11:54.959 --> 00:11:59.800 resource um from our task force agency the CDC you'll be hearing from Sarah in 138 00:11:59.800 --> 00:12:04.959 just a moment um you'll see here an example of in the description where I 139 00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:09.880 mentioned before about um if you need to set up an account you'll see an example 140 00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:13.880 here um in the description of needing to set up a free account in order to use 141 00:12:13.880 --> 00:12:18.120 this particular training and Sarah will touch on this as well um but here's just 142 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:24.199 an example of of that there are also on each landing page 143 00:12:24.199 --> 00:12:31.120 evalu evaluation resources where applicable link to um funding 144 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:36.199 opportunities for particular areas if applicable and finally each page has 145 00:12:36.199 --> 00:12:41.959 real world examples um with links to more about specific projects um that 146 00:12:41.959 --> 00:12:47.760 have been undertaken by um by communities and institutions across the 147 00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:55.320 country so with that I'm going to stop sharing and I'm going to turn it over to 148 00:12:55.320 --> 00:13:00.480 Sarah Bedrosian from the CDC to talk more about the financial literacy uh 149 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:05.399 resources on the site Sarah go ahead thank you Katherine and I believe you 150 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:11.160 meant to say health literacy is that correct um I did my script from 151 00:13:11.160 --> 00:13:17.279 yesterday I'm I'm not really prepared for financial literacy 152 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.800 to so thank you so much for that introduction I'm really really happy to 153 00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:29.720 be here um my name is Sarah pzi and I am in the office of communications at CDC 154 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:35.519 and um um basically I've been a very proud member of the information literacy 155 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.040 task force for it might be over almost two years now but it's it definitely 156 00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:46.480 feels like it's been a nice journey and um it's really been very exciting to see 157 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:51.199 the process behind the scenes in terms of and maybe you all have been part of 158 00:13:51.199 --> 00:13:55.680 some of that process in terms of like the community engagement that went into 159 00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:00.000 the development of this resource to make sure that it's useful and I think that 160 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:05.279 um that approach will continue so it's really great that you're here today and 161 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.800 that you're going to stay involved and let us know what we could do better and 162 00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:15.360 what you need um so with that let me go ahead and share my screen if I can 163 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:21.360 figure out how to there we go um and I will share the information 164 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.360 literacy screen and hopefully you're now seeing 165 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:33.680 it um so basically here's our homepage and um there are many ways to get to all 166 00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:38.399 the information that you might need as Katherine mentioned um there there this 167 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:42.000 is a really great site in terms of being able to you know if you don't know what 168 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:47.600 you're looking for it can help you find what you're looking for like lead you in 169 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.320 there with some recommended resources but you can also go right to the 170 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:55.920 resource section as well as the search feature if you're pretty sure you know 171 00:14:55.920 --> 00:15:00.320 what you're looking for so um basically I'm going to go to the resource section 172 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.800 and I'm going to choose health literacy because that's what I'm going to be 173 00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:09.959 talking about today um and basically just as Katherine said the um there's a 174 00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:17.920 nice definition here and I would just add that for for CDC our definition of 175 00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:22.519 health literacy and for HHS also the Health and Human Services which is our 176 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:27.560 our parent organization and the federal government um basically uh we look at 177 00:15:27.560 --> 00:15:33.560 health literacy as a two twart definition so we're not just focused on 178 00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:37.959 the ability of a particular group that we're trying to that we're trying to 179 00:15:37.959 --> 00:15:41.880 reach or trying to communicate with in terms of their ability to be literate or 180 00:15:41.880 --> 00:15:46.199 to understand what we're saying we also look at organizational health literacy 181 00:15:46.199 --> 00:15:49.839 which is when the organization you know and in this case 182 00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:54.600 CDC we really try to make things more clear and easy for people to understand 183 00:15:54.600 --> 00:16:00.040 so that they don't necessarily we're not focusing on a deficiency we're also 184 00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:05.160 looking at ourselves and trying to make sure we're very clear because we do know 185 00:16:05.160 --> 00:16:10.519 that when when people especially in an emergency and CDC we're often involved 186 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:17.279 in emergency Health responses um you know basically people's ability 187 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:23.160 to take in information goes down and so as a result of that if we make our 188 00:16:23.160 --> 00:16:29.199 information extremely clear if we use active voice and if we um put our main 189 00:16:29.199 --> 00:16:34.240 message first and try to not have a complex message but rather a simple 190 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:37.839 message that that is what's going to help everybody understand our 191 00:16:37.839 --> 00:16:40.880 information especially when they're panicked when they're rushed when 192 00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:44.519 they're trying quickly to find the information that they can actually use 193 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:49.759 to make themselves healthy and and keep themselves safe so 194 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:55.600 um and um yes there there are many things that we're doing at CDC and at 195 00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:01.519 HHS in terms of reaching people who are Ally underserved or who are in rural 196 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:07.559 areas perhaps people whose first language is in English um we've just um 197 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:14.720 been part of a launch of a language access plan that includes um ASL and um 198 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.720 basically like making information clearer for people so it's really this 199 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:24.880 is not only the law for us this is also like a a scientific imperative to make 200 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:29.360 sure that our information is as clear as it can be and we're it's work in 201 00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:36.880 progress so anyway so U basically this is something that you can yourselves use 202 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.880 to make your messages clearer as well as helping people also to understand this 203 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:46.240 and to use some of these tools so I'll just um scroll down the page a little 204 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:54.400 bit um and I I just like to mention um that I wanted to thank uh Katherine for 205 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.000 highlighting our communicating science clearly course that is a three-hour 206 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.520 self-guided course course that um is free to anybody and um even though it 207 00:18:03.520 --> 00:18:07.919 says it's focused on public health professionals we we really consider all 208 00:18:07.919 --> 00:18:15.000 of you to be part of our um our team you're on our team in terms of um we 209 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:20.679 need you to to think of yourselves in the same way like you are all carrying 210 00:18:20.679 --> 00:18:24.960 out the mission of helping the American public so we really thank you for that I 211 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:29.000 really encourage you to take that particular class it's self-guided and 212 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:33.720 it's it's very easy you could stop it and start it it's three hours long but 213 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:39.240 um you know it's it's it's an it's fun so I really do encourage you to take 214 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:45.120 that one and um and then I would just want to take a couple of looks here um 215 00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:50.039 in terms of like some of the CDC resources that we have we have this 216 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:59.080 other course that is on um this is on um our site this is basically our health 217 00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:03.240 literacy main health literacy site there are tons of tools on here the 218 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.919 communicating science clearly course you can find it right here there's also 219 00:19:06.919 --> 00:19:11.400 health literacy for public health professionals as as as I said I do 220 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.799 consider you all to be part of our team of public health professionals because 221 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:20.679 you are on our fright lines working with the public and and you are just so 222 00:19:20.679 --> 00:19:27.559 important um so so when you click on one of these you'll see that um it will take 223 00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:32.760 you to CDC train and if you don't have an account you need to create one but 224 00:19:32.760 --> 00:19:36.679 it's free free free and once you do this you don't have to keep logging in if you 225 00:19:36.679 --> 00:19:40.880 set it up that way you can just go on in so 226 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:45.350 um basically uh there we go let's go back 227 00:19:45.350 --> 00:19:48.430 [Music] 228 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.039 um though here's the other course the health literacy for public health 229 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.760 professionals um we'd love for you to take that one as well and I do think 230 00:20:00.760 --> 00:20:04.480 that these courses are extremely empowering they will help you to feel 231 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:09.360 more confident when you're speaking to a person or in front of a group you know 232 00:20:09.360 --> 00:20:16.240 they will help you to feel like you're your very best um so um I really think 233 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:20.000 that they will be helpful for you um but please let us know if there's anything 234 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.280 that could be um um done to make it better 235 00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:31.360 um basically we also have a plain language resource site which is uh uh 236 00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:37.360 basically has a lot of resources it has tools that you can use these are free um 237 00:20:37.360 --> 00:20:42.240 there's everyday words which lets you kind it's like a jargon Buster it 238 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:46.440 basically is like a thesaurus for I'm I want to get rid of this jargon and all 239 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:50.840 of our but I don't know what's the appropriate word or wording to use to 240 00:20:50.840 --> 00:20:57.200 replace this thing can help you it's really great we're always updating it um 241 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:01.880 we we have some examples of plain language materials including information 242 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.200 for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and care 243 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:09.440 providers so if you wanted to create some materials but you weren't sure that 244 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:13.200 you had ever seen something like that you can take a look um there's a nice 245 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:18.120 plain language checklist that helps you these are really the basics for health 246 00:21:18.120 --> 00:21:22.720 literacy if you apply all these to all of your writings and your speaking you 247 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:31.120 will do really well so I will go back and um back again and then um this 248 00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:36.559 is something that um this this is a John's Hopkins playbook for addressing 249 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.520 Health misinformation I know this is an incredibly important topic for all of 250 00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:45.000 you um because Health misinformation does reduce trust people just don't know 251 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:50.279 what to believe when they hear all sorts of contradictory information so this 252 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:54.799 resource was actually funded by CDC and we worked closely with them to develop 253 00:21:54.799 --> 00:22:01.159 this and um this I think this would be really really help helpful for you um it 254 00:22:01.159 --> 00:22:06.400 has a lot of great information in it um so I encourage you to check that out as 255 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:12.000 well and um we also have a Visual Communications resource which um 256 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:16.799 basically gives you some help for figuring out the best way to make a 257 00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:21.480 visual image that gets your point across and there's information here about 258 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:27.320 making data talk from the NIH um you know equity and awareness and 259 00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:32.799 data visualization and teaching patients with low literacy skills so um I really 260 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.480 think this would also be a very useful resource um so that's why we wanted to 261 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:43.120 highlight it for you and then um at the end of the day you're like well this is 262 00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:46.880 great but I don't know exactly what I need but CDC said they had something 263 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:51.000 well then you can just go up to the search button and you can ask for CDC 264 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:57.279 and then all the resources we just looked at are right there and I'm I know 265 00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:01.840 that as time goes on um the task force will continue to change and add 266 00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:07.760 materials as they become available so um I encourage you to keep looking at this 267 00:23:07.760 --> 00:23:11.799 resource I think it's going to be a great one but we really do want to hear 268 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.799 how it works for you how it doesn't work and I think with that I will say thank 269 00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:21.720 you and pass it back to Katherine correct yes that's right thank you so 270 00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.200 much for going through all those great resources Sarah there's so much great 271 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.919 stuff out there from CDC in particular thanks for the opportunity yeah 272 00:23:28.919 --> 00:23:33.400 absolutely absolutely so with that I'm going to 273 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:36.720 turn it over 274 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:42.919 to Ron howy from the FDIC to talk more about financial 275 00:23:42.919 --> 00:23:48.240 literacy and some of the resources on the site 276 00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:59.360 Ron okay thank you very much C Catherine well done and I'm going to no that's not 277 00:23:59.360 --> 00:24:05.880 what I want to do what I want to do is take take the 278 00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:09.480 um let's try it again let's try to share my 279 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:16.400 screen and let us let us actually share it so now you should see it right 280 00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:23.360 Katherine okay so here we go um thank you for the opportunity by the way I am 281 00:24:23.360 --> 00:24:29.559 LS and my name is Ron haigi and I'm with the FDIC you may have heard that uh 282 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:34.360 nomenclature before we're the ones who ensure your savings accounts at 283 00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:38.679 Banks and uh you'll see us featured on this 284 00:24:38.679 --> 00:24:43.559 website along with other resources so why financial literacy and 285 00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:50.120 why is it a a component of this platform well the the market says there's for 286 00:24:50.120 --> 00:24:57.640 every $15 worth of uh advertising on financial products and services there's 287 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:02.039 about a dollar is worth of real education that includes anything from 288 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:08.600 instructor-led curricula to posters um so there's a disparity in the 289 00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:14.440 ratio what you'll find on this component of the website though you won't see any 290 00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.880 propaganda you won't see any encouragement of one product over 291 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:25.120 another one service over another one company over Another One bank over 292 00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:31.960 another um it is basically neutral non-biased information meant to 293 00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:35.360 empower folks and to increase their financial 294 00:25:35.360 --> 00:25:41.720 capability so FDIC um emphasizes these these resources as really much needed 295 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.559 unbiased information um for consumers across the country I'm going to go 296 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:50.919 through a few of them here um there is the money 297 00:25:50.919 --> 00:25:57.200 smart program um which is a financial education curriculum designed to help 298 00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.520 people of all ages enhance their financial skills and 299 00:26:00.520 --> 00:26:05.480 create positive banking relationships um I believe that's nope I forgot to close 300 00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:11.360 that one and that one there we go money smart um so there are there's a a 301 00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:15.480 variety of products for an array of different sort of constituencies here um 302 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:20.200 you can learn how to teach financial literacy to others um for grade school 303 00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:25.279 age uh to older adults some of the resources are geared towards teachers 304 00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:29.360 who are trained to teach um and others are geared for people who are not 305 00:26:29.360 --> 00:26:34.360 professional instructors or certified teachers um but still might want to to 306 00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:41.360 to teach um teach people in their in their communities so that's one great 307 00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:47.159 resource the sort of accompanying piece there's 308 00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:52.919 an accompanying piece um which includes some more uh sort of games and other 309 00:26:52.919 --> 00:26:58.760 other resources

of unbanked and underbanked households that 337 00:29:20.399 --> 00:29:28.279 the FDIC held um and they this is also get banked here we go um this is really 338 00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:32.919 interesting there's you can find the um the results and the key findings and the 339 00:29:32.919 --> 00:29:37.760 implications of this uh this National survey from a few years ago um which may 340 00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:42.159 help you to understand your community Better Community needs better um and is 341 00:29:42.159 --> 00:29:45.720 a really interesting resource for being able to do 342 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:52.840 that and finally for this section under real world examples at the 343 00:29:52.840 --> 00:29:58.640 bottom there's an example from the money smart newsletter about 344 00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:02.200 friends against from a couple of years ago but it's about uh friends against 345 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:06.600 fraud which is a workshop created by the Elder Justice Committee in uh Guilford 346 00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:10.919 County in North Carolina um and they work to to teach older residents how to 347 00:30:10.919 --> 00:30:15.679 protect themselves and their friends from becoming victims of 348 00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:22.440 fraud so that is the financial section going to now turn to the digital 349 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:27.320 literacy section so this is the final focused 350 00:30:27.320 --> 00:30:30.559 literacy era um and I know many of you are are 351 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:35.480 involved in the digital literacy space um um this is the ability to use the 352 00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:40.000 internet and other digital tools to find accurate information and apply that 353 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.880 information to our own lives and I know this comes up um overlapping with 354 00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:49.440 sometimes with media literacy as we are confronted with more and more AI every 355 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.840 day um this is a very important and growing area as 356 00:30:53.840 --> 00:30:59.720 well um so these digital literacy skills that were that are are highlighted on 357 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:05.039 the site um can help to give everyone the skills they need to navigate online 358 00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:10.639 information so we have here same structure um lesson plans um to help 359 00:31:10.639 --> 00:31:16.480 students teach students of different ages how to evaluate information online 360 00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:21.559 um I mentioned earlier this is under resources to use and share I mentioned 361 00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:26.399 earlier graphic novel about Miss and disinformation um which is available 362 00:31:26.399 --> 00:31:31.679 here this is develop veled by the cyber security and infrastructure agency or 363 00:31:31.679 --> 00:31:38.279 sisa which is another Task Force member agency and this can be paired with their 364 00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.760 fact sheets got it pulled up here tactics of 365 00:31:41.760 --> 00:31:46.360 Miss and disin tactics of disinformation fact sheet as well which is quite likely 366 00:31:46.360 --> 00:31:51.120 um but it it does complement um complement the graphic novel and they 367 00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:55.039 they sisa does a lot of work in the the miss and disinformation space 368 00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:59.919 particularly online um so there's some great res sources here as 369 00:31:59.919 --> 00:32:05.159 well back on the landing page training 370 00:32:05.159 --> 00:32:09.559 resources and under real world examples I wanted to point to the digital 371 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:13.880 Navigators toolkit this is an imls funded uh project which many of you may 372 00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.960 be familiar with um Salt Lake City Public libraries digital Navigators 373 00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:23.240 program um that helps helps low-income older adults and families get set up 374 00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:27.600 with devices learn basic digital skills um and this is a way that you can you 375 00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:34.679 can adapt these apply these lessons um to developing your own digital literacy 376 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:39.039 programming and now now that we've looked through um all the different 377 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.880 literacy areas and types of resources available I want to draw your attention 378 00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:48.440 to the last tab that we haven't delved into yet which is the journey to 379 00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:54.159 information literacy tab here so this includes also training resources for 380 00:32:54.159 --> 00:32:58.720 professionals as well as Community engagement materials which we'll get to 381 00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:02.720 as we go through here so building on some of what we 382 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.159 heard during our convenings and listening sessions last year we wanted 383 00:33:07.159 --> 00:33:10.880 to provide a bit of a guide for approaching this work if this is 384 00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:15.240 something that is new to you um and or your institution or if you are just 385 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:20.159 trying to tackle something new even if you you have some um have done some work 386 00:33:20.159 --> 00:33:24.760 already um in this kind of space so as we all know Journeys are 387 00:33:24.760 --> 00:33:30.279 messy um and you may be inter entering this Journey at different points um so 388 00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:35.000 the steps and guidance on this page are intended to be adapted for where you are 389 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.279 what you need and for what you are trying to do we also understand you may 390 00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:43.000 be joining the journey at different points um depending on what you are 391 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:47.919 trying to do and the resources and toolkits available on the rest of the 392 00:33:47.919 --> 00:33:52.360 site that we just looked over are intended to help you in each of these 393 00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:57.080 steps so for those of you working continually in the sort of General 394 00:33:57.080 --> 00:34:01.720 community in engagement space um the steps on this journey here on the left 395 00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.720 the nav bar on the left um will not be unfamiliar so the first step is to know 396 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:12.119 your community learning about your community needs second is design and 397 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:17.760 approach third develop Partnerships and find funding and fourth evaluate and 398 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.800 sustain information literacy efforts so we go down the page you will 399 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.839 see that each step on the journey has details about how other institutions 400 00:34:26.839 --> 00:34:31.639 tackled this work called real life examples and that shares a little bit 401 00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:37.359 more detail about um how how different institutions um sort of addressed these 402 00:34:37.359 --> 00:34:42.800 particular steps as they as they went through another important set of 403 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:47.599 resources on this journey page are these special additional resources um that you 404 00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.599 can adapt for your own programming so I want to take a moment to talk about 405 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:58.000 these These are the tools to teach tools to engage these are the same from this 406 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:03.320 drop down up here so the tools to 407 00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:09.720 teach you go tools to teach takes you to the training resources for

some of you have been putting 470 00:40:23.560 --> 00:40:27.760 questions into the Q&A and I'll turn to those now um if you haven't yet and 471 00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:32.760 would like to please use the use the Q&A box to submit your questions and I'm 472 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.200 going to get started if there are ones related to Sarah we'll ask her to come 473 00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:42.839 back um on but I'm gonna just sort of sort of get started um I see some 474 00:40:42.839 --> 00:40:48.200 questions about um sort of what's coming next and what we might be what we might 475 00:40:48.200 --> 00:40:52.040 be doing next or at least some questions that I can address by talking about what 476 00:40:52.040 --> 00:40:56.960 we might be doing next um we've I talked quite a bit about different um age 477 00:40:56.960 --> 00:41:00.160 groups at this time there is no way to filter 478 00:41:00.160 --> 00:41:04.359 by age group somebody asked that question um but that is something that 479 00:41:04.359 --> 00:41:08.040 we are actively considering I've heard that from a couple of different um 480 00:41:08.040 --> 00:41:12.560 different people and places um that that is a useful thing so we're going to be 481 00:41:12.560 --> 00:41:17.640 be looking into doing that because I think that's um I think that is as we 482 00:41:17.640 --> 00:41:21.640 are um as we're moving forward and getting more and more resources that's 483 00:41:21.640 --> 00:41:28.319 something that could be really helpful so we will be doing that um we are are 484 00:41:28.319 --> 00:41:32.920 actively updating the site um when I was first preparing for this last week we 485 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.760 had fewer than a 100 resources when I checked again yesterday we have over a 486 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:43.000 hundred so we are adding um every month we are adding more um adding more uh 487 00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:49.359 resources we are also actively working on adding non- language um both both the 488 00:41:49.359 --> 00:41:53.680 content of the site and resources um that link from the site I'm going to 489 00:41:53.680 --> 00:41:58.119 pull back up my screen so I can show that 490 00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:02.520 again so going back to the beginning of the presentation under the resource 491 00:42:02.520 --> 00:42:08.240 database may remember there are ways to um filter by resource languages so these 492 00:42:08.240 --> 00:42:13.359 are the languages that what we are linking to are available in um you'll 493 00:42:13.359 --> 00:42:18.200 notice a lot of English some Spanish and then some smaller numbers of other of 494 00:42:18.200 --> 00:42:22.960 other items we are actively working to also include more non-english um 495 00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:28.599 resources that we are linking to we are also close to having the site itself be 496 00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:32.839 available in Spanish at the click of a button um and that would be everything 497 00:42:32.839 --> 00:42:37.280 that that is on the site that we that we control on the site itself all of the 498 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:42.079 the language around um Journey resources Community spotlights all of that um will 499 00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:48.200 be available in Spanish as well 500 00:42:48.200 --> 00:42:53.119 um if people have if you have suggestions about resources please feel 501 00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:58.800 free to to um to contact us about that I should I can note here con there's a 502 00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:04.839 contact us form um that's available both in the header and also in the footer um 503 00:43:04.839 --> 00:43:09.680 and as you can see here you can also directly email infolit at IM ls. goov 504 00:43:09.680 --> 00:43:13.839 we'll share that again at the end but that is available um and as I as I 505 00:43:13.839 --> 00:43:19.520 mentioned earlier all of the potential resources um go through this resource 506 00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:24.480 evaluation um process um before we put anything on the site but if you have 507 00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:28.160 something um something that you'd be interested in in sharing or think would 508 00:43:28.160 --> 00:43:31.119 be good please do 509 00:43:31.240 --> 00:43:36.839 that um some of the other areas that we're kind of interested in exploring 510 00:43:36.839 --> 00:43:41.680 this gets again to kind of where where we think where we think we're going um 511 00:43:41.680 --> 00:43:48.599 we have a lot of um we've had a lot of interest in in 512 00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:53.720 science literacy um and you I the the EPA game of energy choices that I shared 513 00:43:53.720 --> 00:43:59.079 at the beginning is one of those um that we already have on the s it um Beyond 514 00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:02.720 health information sort of science literacy health literacy I'm sorry 515 00:44:02.720 --> 00:44:06.680 science literacy more generally um sometimes that's getting Into Climate 516 00:44:06.680 --> 00:44:10.920 literacy planetary literacy environmental literacy um but thinking 517 00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.200 about science uh science literacy more generally is an area that we're actively 518 00:44:15.200 --> 00:44:20.520 moving into um adding more resources and really focusing in on on a definition of 519 00:44:20.520 --> 00:44:24.920 that and sort of um thinking about how we include that more um concretely on 520 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:31.040 the site we're also thinking in the sort of Civic literacy space um civic 521 00:44:31.040 --> 00:44:36.640 education and Civic literacy um which gets to sort of foundational um ideas 522 00:44:36.640 --> 00:44:41.839 around how we live in society right um and can address some of the the miss and 523 00:44:41.839 --> 00:44:48.839 disinformation in that kind of space uh let me 524 00:44:49.040 --> 00:44:54.920 see somebody asked about um whether the the URLs will be available after the 525 00:44:54.920 --> 00:45:00.800 presentation they are all on the site um so we are recording this webinar we 526 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:05.400 had held another one yesterday afternoon that we also recorded we will be posting 527 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:10.960 those on our uh YouTube on ims's YouTube channel and then soon hopefully putting 528 00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:16.400 them on the information literacy. goov site itself um so that you can review if 529 00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:19.559 there are specific areas that you want to go back to what we talked about you 530 00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:27.839 can see that um but they are also all available um on on the site itself 531 00:45:29.200 --> 00:45:33.599 ah question about editing options for the lesson plans um that's a yeah 532 00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:38.000 somebody doesn't have Microsoft Word good point um let we will be thinking 533 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:43.480 more about um what format might be helpful um in terms of all of those 534 00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:48.160 resources that we are intending to have you use and edit um I will take that 535 00:45:48.160 --> 00:45:51.079 we'll take that under consideration because that's that's a great point if 536 00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:54.520 that's if that's the intention and you can't do it um we need to make sure that 537 00:45:54.520 --> 00:45:58.160 we're addressing that 538 00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:05.319 and I see some more specific questions about rural communities interesting 539 00:46:05.319 --> 00:46:09.720 um I'm trying to let me to see if there's any 540 00:46:09.720 --> 00:46:14.880 other I don't see any other questions that I haven't answered yet I hope um 541 00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:18.520 let me see what happens for this rural question let me see what happens if I 542 00:46:18.520 --> 00:46:21.640 type in rural let's see if there's anything there it's not a it's not a 543 00:46:21.640 --> 00:46:25.240 checkbox yet and that's something else that might be a filter rather that might 544 00:46:25.240 --> 00:46:31.559 be interesting um for uh thinking about Community types um it might get 545 00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:36.240 complicated uh but I think that's uh but it is something worth considering um for 546 00:46:36.240 --> 00:46:40.240 those of you who might be coming from a very specific type of community that 547 00:46:40.240 --> 00:46:46.599 having that easily findable would be very good um ah yes I remember this one 548 00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:50.880 so this popped up with a few different resources um and I know the person who's 549 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:54.400 asking worked for a history organization so I'm not sure that that will 550 00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:59.599 necessarily help um but I know that there are a few different places where 551 00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:05.640 rural is called out um and we will I'll inquire about you can also reach out to 552 00:47:05.640 --> 00:47:10.680 us directly um and I'll see if there are are other rural resources particularly 553 00:47:10.680 --> 00:47:14.000 for history organizations um that we could point you 554 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:18.839 to um since these are the only ones popping up here this uh leap into 555 00:47:18.839 --> 00:47:22.680 science is one of the this is the community Spotlight um that I actually 556 00:47:22.680 --> 00:47:27.079 talked about too um so this might be interesting it's it's not history 557 00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:31.119 related not um sort of civics related potentially what you're depending on 558 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:35.680 what you're interested in um but this is this may have some connections to some 559 00:47:35.680 --> 00:47:40.880 of those rural uh those rural uh particular rural 560 00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:45.240 needs I'm GNA see I don't see other questions please ask them we have a few 561 00:47:45.240 --> 00:47:51.040 minutes um we can also just wrap up as soon as we're ready um but I just want 562 00:47:51.040 --> 00:47:57.079 to make sure we do get any anybody's questions answered 563 00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.720 I'm seeing some questions I'm going to sort of start from the bottom but I'll 564 00:47:59.720 --> 00:48:07.599 skip around a little bit um somebody has some questions about uh the ah the word 565 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:11.440 document for the like the worksheet and other things how do we give credit to 566 00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:16.559 the original document that we provided that is a great question um and you are 567 00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:20.599 absolutely allowed to adapt the resources I believe and perhaps um one 568 00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:24.800 of my colleagues can can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that um if you 569 00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:29.319 adapt it you can still include information literacy. goov at the bottom 570 00:48:29.319 --> 00:48:35.160 um which still gives us sort of credit for or takes takes the user to um to our 571 00:48:35.160 --> 00:48:39.440 site um which still sort of connects it to the overall adiss so I would say 572 00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:46.200 that's a that's a that's a good one on that um couple that I pulled out already 573 00:48:46.200 --> 00:48:51.520 I believe I answered the question about um open access and proprietary um so I 574 00:48:51.520 --> 00:48:54.640 hope I answered that question let me know if I didn't um we're definitely 575 00:48:54.640 --> 00:49:04.400 moving you know mostly in OB ACC say um see what else we've got we've 576 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:15.400 got some specific questions about ahome questions about uh translation great 577 00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:22.240 question so um you may have noticed uh when I was sharing the resource database 578 00:49:22.240 --> 00:49:26.599 go back to that for just a moment 579 00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:34.640 there is a drop down for resource 580 00:49:35.040 --> 00:49:40.599 languages um the so for the the resources that are linked on the site 581 00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:44.920 that's what you're searching for here um or what you'd be seeing here I guess 582 00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:51.359 really um and we are actively working to add more 583 00:49:51.359 --> 00:49:56.839 non-english linked resources um because we know that that many communities need 584 00:49:56.839 --> 00:50:04.480 English resources um so we are actively working on on that um in terms of the in 585 00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:11.319 terms of the site itself we are close to having the whole content of the site not 586 00:50:11.319 --> 00:50:15.880 just the links but but um all of the navigation the con the actual written 587 00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:20.240 content on the site all of the U descriptions of the different resources 588 00:50:20.240 --> 00:50:24.760 all of that available in Spanish at the click of a button um so we are actively 589 00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:30.760 working on that and we are close um so being able to to have that um have that 590 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:37.680 going um the training materials uh that I've been talking about here here the 591 00:50:37.680 --> 00:50:41.760 training resources and the community engagement materials um we are also 592 00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:46.880 working on having those translated um into into Spanish I'm sorry into Spanish 593 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:53.480 um we are still exploring sort of how to uh get into non-english non-spanish um 594 00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:59.000 languages um and are interested in hearing what kinds of of um what 595 00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:02.359 languages might be useful for for a large number of people that we could 596 00:51:02.359 --> 00:51:08.280 that we could make sure that that happens uh let me see and I see Ron 597 00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:13.240 mentioned that your Suite of of resources can also be tailored do you 598 00:51:13.240 --> 00:51:16.799 want to speak to that for a second while I search through some more of the the 599 00:51:16.799 --> 00:51:23.440 chat questions sure thank you Katherine so um and on the latter many smart is 600 00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:27.680 also available in a variety of languages we that many smart for small 601 00:51:27.680 --> 00:51:35.280 business in Spanish if that's to your liking um and to the 602 00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:42.920 extent other languages the more that the 603 00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:49.680 moneymart team hears from professionals such as this audience as to the the the 604 00:51:49.680 --> 00:51:56.040 need for other languages more likely we're going to be able to to react to 605 00:51:56.040 --> 00:52:02.319 that and so that you're you're important sources of Intelligence on on what your 606 00:52:02.319 --> 00:52:07.640 community needs and we are eager eager to hear from you and aside from

you Katherine yeah thanks R that's really helpful I see a few questions 613 00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:40.079 about um adapting resources and sort of how to give credit so we'll make sure 614 00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:45.720 that that is um that is clear on the site as to how to do that um and what we 615 00:52:45.720 --> 00:52:50.119 what we expect um and what is what is sort of required and um but you know 616 00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:54.760 generally um as long as long as you're using it that's what we that's what we 617 00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:58.799 really care about and you are absolutely allowed to adapt resources um whatever 618 00:52:58.799 --> 00:53:04.160 resources you're finding on the on the site um I see a big question that I want 619 00:53:04.160 --> 00:53:11.160 to hold on for just one second um I see some questions about sort of creating a 620 00:53:11.160 --> 00:53:15.400 consider creating a library of images to use to describe the different types of 621 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:20.119 information literacy which is a really interesting question um you know Finding 622 00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:24.079 finding images um can be a little bit little bit challenging just like 623 00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:27.839 defining any of these things can be challenging but like that idea of sort 624 00:53:27.839 --> 00:53:33.920 of a a library of possible images um I would consider thinking about that um 625 00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:38.040 especially and especially as it relates potentially to some of the uh the visual 626 00:53:38.040 --> 00:53:43.680 resources that we already have um that might be that would be interesting um 627 00:53:43.680 --> 00:53:48.640 and I see a question about information literacy activities activities useful 628 00:53:48.640 --> 00:53:54.200 for schoolage children um and I there are I think um a lot of the resources 629 00:53:54.200 --> 00:54:00.000 that we see are are adult Learners at this point I think but I know there are 630 00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:06.280 some for for schoolage children um I think we are because we've been 631 00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:10.920 starting from the museum and Library space um we've been really starting from 632 00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:14.079 a an informal education kind of standpoint 633 00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:20.920 um which is not quite your question um but I there so I know that there are 634 00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:25.599 are resources for different for varying ages but a lot of them are in sort of 635 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:31.760 the informal space not really about uh real um like in school curricular 636 00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:35.640 development and things like that um but there are there should there are some 637 00:54:35.640 --> 00:54:40.400 resources available for for uh for school AG children um if you can't find 638 00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:45.760 them uh let me know um our contact yeah I did not click on our go to our contact 639 00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:50.119 which hopefully is fairly obvious here but contact UM the contact form here is 640 00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:54.960 available both in the header and down here in the footer as well um and we're 641 00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:57.400 always happy to happy to get some question questions that we can that we 642 00:54:57.400 --> 00:54:59.920 can answer 643 00:54:59.920 --> 00:55:05.160 um so I I want to tackle the uh well tackle I want to address uh the big 644 00:55:05.160 --> 00:55:11.160 question I mentioned a moment ago um how are we avoiding a deficit mindset um 645 00:55:11.160 --> 00:55:17.799 with information literacy. goov um and building upon learner strengths um the 646 00:55:17.799 --> 00:55:20.640 way that they are already thinking critically in their daily lives and that 647 00:55:20.640 --> 00:55:25.799 is a great question um it is something that we are very mindful of um even the 648 00:55:25.799 --> 00:55:32.119 use of of information literacy rate um Can imply that um that one is not 649 00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:36.400 literate if one does not have this information literacy right and we don't 650 00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:42.520 want that U we want people to feel empowered to learn um and to and to your 651 00:55:42.520 --> 00:55:48.680 point to to build on what you already know um what what one already knows um 652 00:55:48.680 --> 00:55:55.319 in in your day-to-day day-to-day work so we have been we have been actively 653 00:55:55.319 --> 00:56:01.240 addressing that through the language that we use on the site um and back to 654 00:56:01.240 --> 00:56:04.760 the homepage here um in the language that we that we use on the site or at 655 00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:11.240 least trying to um and really thinking about uh thinking about that actively 656 00:56:11.240 --> 00:56:15.760 and making sure that we are are building from a place of strength and how we 657 00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:21.280 describe the problem right um and the the challenges um that it is really 658 00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:26.039 about about not about making anybody feel like 659 00:56:26.039 --> 00:56:30.720 they are in a deficit space um I'm not articulating it particularly well right 660 00:56:30.720 --> 00:56:34.720 now but we are very mindful of that um and and thinking about different ways to 661 00:56:34.720 --> 00:56:39.400 do that as we move forward and expand the resources on the site um and think 662 00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:44.160 differently about um think differently about what we're what we're adding to it 663 00:56:44.160 --> 00:56:48.400 um it's it's very it is top of mind um because I know it's a significant 664 00:56:48.400 --> 00:56:54.839 significant challenge let's see 665 00:56:56.359 --> 00:57:00.440 I want to address I had a c actually we'll stop screen sharing 666 00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:06.480 now I want to address um so I just mentioned that we're thinking about um 667 00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:13.400 some other areas of focus um and some other um other resources uh we are think 668 00:57:13.400 --> 00:57:18.680 and I saw a question about sort of electoral literacy um and uh which which 669 00:57:18.680 --> 00:57:24.559 is what made me think of it um we are actively thinking about expanding into 670 00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:29.280 the science literacy space um and you will see as you peruse the 671 00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:34.880 site you will see um some already some science literacy and there's a science 672 00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:39.720 Communications um resource on there that I highlighted earlier um thinking about 673 00:57:39.720 --> 00:57:45.200 how we are um how we can address science literacy more broadly than health um 674 00:57:45.200 --> 00:57:49.119 Into Climate literacy environmental literacy planetary health literacy all 675 00:57:49.119 --> 00:57:53.319 those that kind of Universe of of um possible resources and there is a lot 676 00:57:53.319 --> 00:57:57.599 out there um and there are as I mentioned already a few on the site um 677 00:57:57.599 --> 00:58:01.640 that is not really categorized as a separate thing yet um so we are actively 678 00:58:01.640 --> 00:58:08.400 thinking about that and then the other area um gets to uh Civic literacy and 679 00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:13.280 we're so we're actively thinking about Civic literacy as well um which allows 680 00:58:13.280 --> 00:58:20.599 us to be in a supporting um supporting Civic engagement space without getting 681 00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:26.559 into challenges around elections and politics directly which we cannot do um 682 00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:31.000 and many of you may not be able to do either but being able to provide 683 00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:37.160 um provide resources that allow us to build Civic engagement and Civic 684 00:58:37.160 --> 00:58:41.680 literacy in our communities more broadly um so I hope that answers hope that 685 00:58:41.680 --> 00:58:47.280 answers that question um and uh also thinking about how often we are updating 686 00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:52.079 um we are adding resources um every month um actually when I looked this 687 00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:56.319 morning I realized we had added um we are now over a hundred resources were 688 00:58:56.319 --> 00:59:00.599 almost at 100 last week and now we are over 100 so we are actively adding uh 689 00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:06.359 resources every month um and we are doing bigger updates um on a not a quite 690 00:59:06.359 --> 00:59:11.680 as regular basis um thinking about new areas of literacy as I just mentioned um 691 00:59:11.680 --> 00:59:15.520 and and making changes to to anything that doesn't quite work um all of that 692 00:59:15.520 --> 00:59:18.960 is either on a rolling basis or the bigger stuff
