Chapter 1: Information Literacy: A New Basic Skill
The importance of teaching our students and our children about the validity of information on the internet is a vital tool that they will need and use throughout life. Children are naive, and believe that if it's on the internet that it's true. Internet has become this generations main source of communication and entertainment. It allows them immediate access to an overwhelming world of data. Teaching them the tools and the importance of interpreting the information on the web is an absolute necessity.
I agree with teaching the true and false side of the internet; it is an absolute necessity. It is a necessity with books; however, the go to tool now for students is the internet; so our responsibility is to teach them the truth about the tools they use everyday.
ReplyDeleteI too agree, we have a very important job in helping students understand what is real and not real on the internet.
