In fact, in our session on Monday, I had hoped we would have had some time to discuss the issue of 'discernment.' There's so much information available, and we did talk about the fact that you can spend hours just searching for information. But how do we teach students to find valid, reliable information? That's going to be addressed in this blog, too! Thanks for stopping by! I completely agree with you, Amy.

And no, not so very surprising. However, I think that as educators we need to begin working with students at an early age (4th, 5th, 6th?) to help them determine the legitimacy of sources online, and how to utilize what they already know in terms of software, etc. I could only read the first part of the article, but yes, it is very interesting.
