My Web Information OOPS

I think that we have probably all used information that was not credible at some point. I personally have used information from random web sites without using the verificaion process we utilized in class. I am definately amazed at the pseudo credibility that some web sites have. As an individual that is close to having a masters degree I was doubting what I have been teaching my kids for six years because the Dihydrogen Monoxide site looked so credible.

Our students are exposed to internet misinformation on a daily basis. When students use the internet it is important that they are taught the skills to properly obtain its information. I will definately take this into consideration when I am planning lesson activities.
