Hi Ken
There is also a great story on http://www.crikey.com.au/business/wtohoax.html about
some accountants
who got scammed here, ran a press release that ended up with some Canadian
government minister
having egg on his face. Others, in Finland I think, were also duped by the same
hoax because the
presenters had a "great PowerPoint presentation".
I was listening to this on the radio in my car yesterday, so when I got home, I
emailed the
broadcaster to tell him of the importance that we teacher-librarians place on
teaching our kids the
need to confirm the authenticity of Internet-based materials, and that even print
materials need to
be cross-referenced!
There seems to be a lack of understanding amongst the public about the importance
of this part of
our role and so I took the opportunity to spread the word!
