It is important for us as educators to teach our students to
go beyond filtered information and help them to find and make sense of “raw” information
on the Web. Primary sources and databases full of lots of useful information
are becoming more accessible for them every day. Higher-order thinking is
engaged when student have to navigate and sort, organize, analyze and make
visual representations in order to learn and express their learning. Imagine
the parallels school and ways students can use the Web to express their ideas
and build society around shared interests. Connect your class to the world
using a Website, blog, or virtual world and have students “tag” content and
share with others.
