How do we know if our kids are finding good digital content?
January 27, 2014 6 Comments
At our district-wide PD last week (#ecsdtransform), an interesting question came up while we were discussing Information Fluency. Students are doing research online and they have access to an incredible amount of information.
How do we know if our students are finding reliable information online?
We encourage our kids to do research online but how do we ensure that they are finding good information? We live in a world where there is so much information available to us. Textbook information is outdated in many subject areas. Some of the information online is good and reliable but most of it…not so much. I know we need to teach our kids to discern good information from unreliable information but how do we do that?
How do we ensure that we, as teachers, are finding reliable information online?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
