    This news article explains that just because students have grown up in the technology age, doesn't mean they are experts in using that technology. It highlights the 3 areas students must master for success with using technology to research: "The ability to identify trustworthy and useful information; The ability to manage overabundant information; and The ability to communicate information effectively." As we use web 2.0 we must remember to teach our students how to use these tools effectively, not just assume they can use them because they've grown up in the tech environment.
