Critical Inquiry and Meaning Making: As students, you use digital tools to find information that’s right for your task. You look for information from different places and check if the information is correct. You organize the information you find based on its importance or topic, and then you try to understand what it means. Finally, you use your own knowledge and experience to decide what you think about it.
Meaning making refers to the process of understanding and interpreting information in a way that is relevant and useful to oneself. It involves analyzing and reflecting on information and experiences, and using that understanding to draw conclusions, form opinions, and make decisions. In other words, it’s the process of making sense of things and figuring out what they mean to you.
