Chapter 4 Accessing Primary Sources to Enhance Critical Thinking
Chapter 4 talks about finding a balance between freedom to explore and structure and guidance. Learning is more fun when students are allowed to explore and hunt for questions and answers. During this process, students need to be taught how to accountable for how they are using the technology, and how to develop the skills to decipher between truthful sites and sites that aren't truthful. Teachers need to set up online learning and boundaries to help students maintain the integrity of their work.

Great thoughts, my chapter, chapter 7 will help you be able to have students do this in a safe way. On pages 97 and 98 there are websites to help teach kids how to explore and validate, but within guidelines and in a safe way.
