Video Review

I thought that this video was a great example of how important it is that internet as a part of the 'new literacies' is taught by teachers and used by students in the correct way. This video highlights the issue of how the internet is used a main source of information but how students may not review the reliability of sources correctly. The danger is that the imformation is gathered at face value for it appears credible. Also demonstrated through the video is the increasing need for teacher education in the area of 'new literacies' so that they can feel more confident in their own technological uses to then project them in the classroom.
