Kids think "Oh, it looks like a news site, it's credible" or "Oh, this has a blingee picture on it, it's not credible" and while those may be good ways to get an intitial impression, you still need to take a deeper look. Moreso with the sites that look like news. I say that if you have a blingee on your site, that pretty much ruins your credibility. ha. But anyway, teaching them to research the source is absolutely necessary.

I keep thinking back to my "research" papers, (If you could call them that) in high school. Teachers would give you a list of objectives that you had to have at least 3 books, and how ever many internet articles for your sources. The reason for the books was because teachers felt that information in books was more accurate that information found on the web. Instead of teaching us how to sift through to find fact rather than opinion we were just told we had to use book sources as well. I love your approach to the video!Brittney Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155323730346065438noreply@blogger.com
