Sometimes I say too much. There are two questions:
Where do you think you will find the most complete and accurate
information about Martin Luther King?
* A textbook that meets the standards of the Texas Textbook Commission.
* The martinlutherking.org web site hosted by Stormfront.
* A web site set up to honor the legacy of the leaders of the civil
rights movement.
* A Wikipedia entry.
Recognize that each has deficiencies. But in my opinion that the
user-generated and edited approach on Wikipedia has the greatest chance
of being the closest to complete and accurate. Recognize also that
students are going to find information on all of these kinds of sites.
So what skills do they need to ensure that the information they find and
rely on is credible.
How can we best prevent students from accidentally or intentionally
accessing pornography? Given that ...
* Filters have demonstrated a 10% failure rate under conditions of
intentional access.
* Students can easily bypass filters - search for "bypass Internet
filter."
* Students are accessing the Internet from school, from home, from
friend's homes, and through their personal devices.
