Alan November: Teaching Zack to Think - Developing Critical Skills on the Net
Too many students are not sure how to separate fact from fiction on the Internet. The Internet can provide any version of the truth to support almost any belief. Students can be taught how to read the 'grammer' of the Internet and to apply strategies to validate information on a web site. This workshop led by Alan November, provides step-by-step teaching tips that help students and teachers think critically about Internet information. Target Audience: All
"Don't allow your knowledge to be replaced by the Internet, your knowledge is critical. I think teachers should be giving more structure not less structure."
Questions for teachers to ask students: What Search Engine did you use? What do the forward links tell you? What are the links into this website?
