Something new that I learned today about searching for information on the interent is how to tell if the site is creditable or not. I learned that sites that end in .edu is one of the most creditable sites. The information is more accurate and more reliable. The ISTE-NETS standard that fits this activity is Standard 3d. Standard 3d says Teachers model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning. This is a good way to figure out which information to use for a research paper or any project. This will come in handy when I start teaching and assign a paper to my class. I think that they will enjoy learning how to validate sites.
