Teaching Internet Literacy

Having a discussion with our librarian, Mrs. C. today, I told her I was working to  teach students how to evaulate web sites. I have been collecting sites with my LiveBinder account, Internet Literacy  and Deb had another link to add to mine. I just loved the site that she uses to teach students about Internet Use and Explorers at the same time.   The site she has found is called. All About Explorers. This site is to teach students how to search better on the internet. It is fantastic as the information on the first pages is obviously NOT accurate, but the pages look wonderful. The students will figure out quickly that it is not a good source for information. If they dig deeper in the information, they will find links to Reliable Resources on their explorer. There are lesson plans connected to this site. It is really a fun place on the web and very appropriate for beginning researchers.
