I think it is extremely important to teach our students that all websites have biases built into them. If a website has a certain type of advertising on it, you can predict what those biases are but most students don't take the time to look for them. coltfan https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356870667 2019-05-04 22:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356870667 2) I think it is also important for students to understand how organize their search and determine what the best (most reputable) sources are. This is one of the biggest issue with students, they simply think if it's on the web...it must be true. coltfan https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356870913 2019-05-04 22:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356870913 Information Seeking Strategy coltfan https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356870990 Determine the best sources available.]]> 2019-05-04 22:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356870990 3) Finally, I want my students to learn to be critical about what they are producing and where they've pulled their information from. If they only take information from certain slated web sites than how accurate will their projects really be??? coltfan https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356871101 2019-05-04 22:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/coltfan/85hkj00cfqc0/wish/356871101
