Quote: "Educators face enormous challenges in preparing their students to be critical online readers."
Response: I highly agree with this quote; teachers now face a great challenge in everyday schooling. The internet has changethe way student do reports or look for new information. Along with the new way of researching how can teachers teach student ways of finding correct information and ensure that is not false,when teachers them self have trouble. The new era of learning has take us storm and teachers don't know how to prepare or teach other how to use it. Yes teacher can teach critical thinking skills but how do they teach studens how to use them online and not in a book. We all kow that there is tons of false information online how can we tell what is what?
