Challenge 7: Chrome (Second Try)

Challenge 7: Chrome--2nd try

So I tried to do this again, and I am glad that I did. I was able to go through the lessons on teaching online skills. What I really liked about this lesson was what it can offer students--a way for them to practice some critical thinking skills and a way to be a more astute researcher. The big take away for me was the "rule of 3" where students should be able to find 3 different sources that have the same information before believing it.

How would I use it in the classroom? In teaching social studies this year, I will ask students to do research. They will have to provide some of the "proof" that their sources are good ones, such as the rule of 3, using websites that are reliable sources, such as one with a .gov or .edu ending. 

I might also have them do some scavenger hunts on-line as well.
