WEB LITERACY and Critical Thinking: A Teacher's Tool Kit - Judy Salpeter, techLearning
This practical guide offers classroom activities and exercises that train your students to be discerning consumers of information on the Internet. Call it information overload, data smog, infoglut, data dyspepsia-whatever term we use for it, everybody is talking, these days, about the overwhelming proliferation of Web sites, e-mail messages, and other digital information that bombards us on a daily basis. On the positive side, this means our students have access to a huge array of valuable information-primary resources, up-to-the-minute news, and networking opportunities they never would have had before the Internet age. But sending young people out into these uncharted waters without understanding what Alan November refers to as "the grammar of the Internet" can be dangerous indeed.
