Functions for Schooling
Academics who need to use All About Explorers to show their college students to be discerning shoppers of knowledge ought to check out the All About Explorers classes and treasure hunts. The treasure hunts are brief actions through which college students examine data from a number of sources on the internet.
The lesson plans are a collection of 5 actions designed to introduce college students to internet analysis methods discerning the standard of knowledge discovered on-line. My solely criticism of the lesson plans is that lesson 4 perpetuates the parable that .org domains are usually non-profit organizations and that they by some means have extra credibility than .com or .internet domains. (A fast look at martinlutherking.org or dhmo.org will dispel these myths).
