Web Literacy For Educators

Publication: Web Literacy For Educators

School filtering is not a sufficient policy to prepare children to be critical thinkers on the Web.

The book is filled with practical strategies for teaching children careful search techniques. Stories from thoughtful educators add depth and examples of application across the curriculum.

This book is an essential primer for teachers who want to be expert researchers and to help students to become life-long learners.

  • Web basics for critical thinking
