  The first thing we educators have to do to integrate literacy habits into our classrooms is to practice literacy habits as teachers and as master learners.

  • But if students are asked to research on a liberally open and reasonably safe Internet, to evaluate and validate what they learn, to apply it to other findings, sift and select and then express what they’ve learned, to be responsible for what they learn, then you’re integrating something into the lesson that will not change — Literacy Habits.  Even literacy skills will change.  But the habits won’t.

  Comparing student research using prepacked information sources (like textbooks and databases) with broader research sources where students have to evaluate their sources. Maybe we should be teaching students to critically evaluate their textbooks too though; prepacked sources aren't automatically right.
