Critical Thinking on the Internet

Learning to think critically about digital media and information we encounter on the web is not an entirely obvious process. The critical reasoning skills that we developed in dealing with print-based media do not always readily transfer to the digital realm. How do you determine the author or owner of a website? What tools and practices help us to evaluate the authority of information on a web site? If content on the web is not static, how can the history and development of a web site be examined? How might web-based search, and the access to information it enables, be reshaping our views of knowledge and the way we learn? This session is designed to address these questions and introduce tools and practices that can make us  and our students - more savvy users of the Internet.
