Quote: "Unlike reading assigned textbooks, reading online challenges students to make
judgments about the reputability and validity of the information they see.
Researchers who directed several hundred college students to three bogus Web
sites about fictitious nutritional supplements found that half of the students
lacked the skills to identify the trustworthiness of the information, yet most
thought they had strong research skills"
Responce: It is easier to go to the internet and find the information you are looking for rather than go to a library and read through book after book to find what you are looking for. However, the internet isn't always accurate. Anyone can make a website. Students need to be taught to validate websites.
