  • Digital Literacy is essential reading for students, researchers, writers, investors, and anyone who intends to use the bountiful resources available on-line to bolster their work. Teachers and librarians will be particularly pleased with the respect Gilster shows for their professionsand the assistance he provides in helping them integrate  on-line resources with their existing tools for "knowledge assembly."
  • E-Mail. An electronic mail address is the most basic clue to authorial experience and intentions; it allows you  to probe more deeply into what the author has put on-line. The ability to engage in a dialogue with the source of your  material is largely unique to the Internet.
  • Search Engines. Most people use search engines only to look for content, but they can also be tools for evaluating  ideas and organizations. Search engines such as AltaVista, InfoSeek or DejaNews can help you learn more about the author  or organization behind a web site. A search on the author's name may lead to a personal web page containing their  credentials, or tell you which newsgroups they frequent, or reveal other articles they've written.

  At the website, I found information about how kids assume nothing is wrong with the internet. It talks about digital literacy and why you should know about technology. It talks about how you should be careful when on internet.

    Adapted from the book Digital Literacy by Paul Gilster (John Wiley & Sons, 1997)

      

     Introduction
     In the summer of 1996, renowned journalist Pierre Salinger wrote about a conspiracy surrounding the downing of TWA Flight 800. His proof? An e-mail message circulated on the Internet that purportedly originated from the former Safety Chairman of the Airline Pilots Association. 

     The e-mail message was of dubious origin and could not be corroborated by any serious evidence. Yet it was clever enough to take in Salinger. What is so disturbing about this incident is not that it happened to a prominent journalist, but that it happens *every day* on the Intern

  • Content Evaluation
     When is a globe-spanning information network dangerous? When people make too many assumptions about what they find on it. For while the Internet offers myriad opportunities for learning, an unconsidered view of its contents can be misleading and deceptive. This is why critical thinking about content is the Internet competency upon which all others are founded. You cannot work comfortably within this medium until you have established methods for judging the reliability of Web pages, newsgroups postings, and mailing lists. 

     Any teacher who has used the Internet in a classroom setting can tell you how troubling it is to see children taking World Wide Web pages at face value, without the evaluative skills to place them in context. In that sense, the Internet can, in the wrong hands, become a tool of propaganda.
