Re: computers vs print

It seems vital to have the teachers "grade" the validity of the
sources.  It's my opinion that poor resource choices will contribute
to a poor paper or project, and if that is emphasized and reinforced
by teachers it makes the point to the students.  I don't think this
current concern of students choosing  ease over validity is so much
different from "my day" when we went straight to the World Book for
any topic from China to Hester Prynne.  We were taught (and learned,
eventually) that even though you may find SOMETHING on Hester Prynne
in the World Book, it will probably not be sufficient to build an A
paper upon.
