Hi Everyone,
The IASL Conference is in Berkeley this year - my PhD research which
will be presented at the conference is right on this topic - just how do
the Net Generation (Generation Y) actually use technology and why is
this important for future generations? Would love to see you there, if
only for a day registration. It's never to late.

Really Reading?
Jeri-
Unfortunately many teachers have the same attitude about their kids
"superior" knowledge of the Internet. Then they are shocked when they
receive a paper almost wholly plagiarized with few resources listed from
these same kids.
Our jobs are to convince administrators that every student, no matter
how much time they spend online, needs to be educated in the ethical use
of Internet resources as well as how to critically evaluate a website.
My favorite story about Internet abuse perpetrated by an educator was
the teacher in my elementary school who taught kids how to cut and paste
online information (from web pages and online encyclopedias) into a Word
document but never mentioned citing resources or even listing where they
found the information. You can imagine the classroom teachers response
when they received a research paper without any sources cited!!!
