Tool #11

1. Responsibility - the news is filled with examples to discuss with students: responsibility to the truth and the responsibility to each other. Included in the conversations should be the consequences for the misuse of the internet. The internet should not be treated as a childish toy or used maliciously.

2. Durability - what is said now, what is posted now, will be around for a very long time.

3. Authenticity - if what we use is not ours, give credit.

4. Gullibility - all web pages, blogs, wikis, videos, podcasts, etc. are not created equally- verify, verify, verify- be an informed consumer of internet content. " Be not like dumb, driven cattle!" Voices of the Night: A Psalm of Life - Longfellow
