Internet Literacy

Since the Internet has become such a big part of our everyday lives, I think it's really imperative for students to be careful about what they view online. Just because information is online doesn't mean it's accurate or reliable. It is really important to remember the ABC's of evaluating websites--accountability and authority, bias, and currency. I think that if teachers start educating students at young age about the importance of looking for these things in websites, students will be much more informed about researching on the Internet and be able to obtain more accurate information.
