Practicing Internet Literacy Regularly
I like that the article pointed out that any checklist or formula for separating useful websites from untrustworthy ones will not work. The internet is one of the most constantly changing things in the modern world, and any method of filtering will inevitably be rendered useless. The only true solution is to encourage students to develop and refine their own methods. I certainly believe in offering them initial strategies, but the best strategy is for students to regularly practice searching and evaluating websites, and always revising their strategies based on their experiences.
