Creating a Culture for Teaching and Learning - If its on the internet its true

In the article Creating a Culture for Teaching and Learning the one that stood out to the most is 1. If it's on the Internet, it is true.
So often people really believe this and it is hard to break the cycle in them to go right to the Internet for research.  Like the example given in the article about the 16 year old student who was led to a website while doing a term paper claiming the Holocaust never took place.  We as educators must understand these random websites are created but people just like you and me and their own opinions and ideas.  For information to be considered scholarly it should come from sites in which are peer reviewed and known to present educational facts and not ones own idea, that should be presented in a blog!

WHAT I HOPE TO GET OUT OF THIS COURSE
In this course I hope to bring away more information on the technology being used in classrooms that is working for students to become more engaged in learning. I am a firm believer of classrooms that are changing regularly according to the needs of the students.  It is important to gain more insight and experience with technology is why I am interested in these courses therefore I am looking to expand my knowledge of how to stay engaged and current on educational technology.
