Application of Information Fluency
Information
Fluency is the “ability to unconsciously and intuitively interpret information
in all forms and formats in order to extract the essential knowledge, perceive
its meaning and significance, and use it to complete real –world tasks” (Churches,
Jukes &Crockett, 201, p.33).
The Information Fluency
Process:
Ask
Asking of good
questions
Who was Homo Naledi?
What are the
groundbreaking archaeological findings founded by Professor Lee Berger on the
Homo Naledi?
What is the significant about the ground-breaking
archaeological findings?
Acquire
I have
skimmed, scanned through the resources on the internet that is available and the
information was acquired at the following websites

Analyse
A team of
archaeologists led by Professor Lee Berger undertook the Rising Star Expedition
and they had made history by discovering and salvaging fossils of at least 15 individuals
from the Dinaledi Chamber, a discovery of a new species called Homo Naledi was
found. This fossil is a bit smaller and a lot older than we are. It has a
small skull and curved fingers, but in some ways very similar to humankind
(Eyewitness News, 2016). They have a tiny brain and broad shoulders for
climbing, their jawbone and teeth were very primitive but it other ways it
looks much like modern humans.
This involves
applying the findings and knowledge.
According to
the findings and information online Homo Naledi , could be traced to our roots
this suggesting that it could have had human characteristics both physical and
mental besides from just similar features.
The Dinaledi
chamber might have been used as a buriel ground, scientists are still trying to
figure out how Homo Naledi got into the cave with such a small entrance.
Assess
Research was
conducted and the information was extracted from good online sources, having
summarised the information to the most important facts about the Homo
Naledi
