What do you think you can teach kids about evaluating sources of information?

Great bogus sites- thanks for the eye opening evening.

I would tell them to open different links on the site and see where it takes them.

My students are not the best spellers, so would they really catch false information!!

We need to ask,"what was your source?" all the time. If we do this consistantly a kid may see the value of MARVEL independently...
