Website Evaluations

I bet most students, like me, do internet searches at a surface level.  I admit it.  I look for the fast answer, that's what the internet is for right? :)  So, knowing this about myself, and knowing that this is probably true for most of my students, how can educators help improve this key component of 21st century literacy?  Well, first, we need to teach students how to be more critical and using the PDF of questions you've provided us is a great place to start.  Students can also learn these skills in their art classroom through good visual literacy instruction.  Now that our school is going to a building wide "bring your own device" initiative, website evaluations will likely become part of my curriculum when I am sending kids out to gather research for their ideas.  We no longer have a media specialist screening everything in the physical library for us.  We need the kids to be able to screen for themselves.
