"The internet has become the reference source of choice on just about everything. It is invaluable, but just as students need to learn how to examine critically information presented conventionally in newspapers, books and magazines so they need to apply those skills to the cyberspace world. The reading below offers a student introduction to some of the skills needed to use the internet critically. Also available on this website are the following sets of materials bearing on the teaching of critical thinking: "Teaching Critical Thinking," "The Plagiarism Perplex," "How to Stop Cheaters," "The Essential Skill of Crap Detecting," and "Thinking Is Questioning." The website of education technology specialist Alan November (www.novemberlearning.com) provides an internet "Information Literacy" quiz that might be a useful starting point for discussion with high school students.
