Teaching Zach to think

What skills did Zack need to learn about web evaluation? How could a teacher prevent this same scenario from happening with other students? Give 3 strategies the teacher could use.

Zack needs to learn many skills about how to evaluate a website. The first skill Zack needs to know is whether the author is creditably and knows what they’re talking about. That can be determined by if the author’s name is sited and that type of website it is, such as .com, .gov, .org, etc. The second skill Zack needs to know what is the reason for the website and what information is provides you with. The third skill Zack needs to know if the website is usefully and provides answers to questions that he has and the answers are credible. Another skill Zack needs to know is how to determine whether information is biased. Since he is young that could be hard for him. A teacher could prevent this from happening but educating their students about websites and provide them with the skills needed to determine if a website credible. Three strategies a teacher could use is teach the students the skills for assessing a website. The second strategy a teacher could use is to give the students a list of website they could use if everyone was researching the same topic. The final strategy a teacher could use is to monitor the websites the students are on and have other students check the credible of each other’s websites.

I am pretty comfortable with using technology. I use it everyday and I am pretty comfortable using it for school work and fun. I currently use technology everyday. The computer is a big part of my life. I use to look up information, to do homework and do projects. I mostly use technology for the internet. In this class I want to learn how technology can be intergated into a classroom and how children can benefit from technology. Also all the information out there that can help one become a better teacher. Students in school should use technology as a different way of learning. They can see things from all over the world and make there own projects.
