We need to teach evaluation at a new level.

It is no longer sufficient to evaluate only isolated web pages and/or websites -- we must now also begin to evaluate the software applications running on websites (aka domains). Questions relating to authority and verifiability need to be translated onto this "application" level. For example:

Compare (Evaluate):

1. google.COM

2. live.COM

3. yahoo.COM

4. ask.COM

etc.

Students need to learn that the algorithms used on websites (e.g. search, mapping, etc.) introduce bias.

 

(this point need to be further fleshed out)

PCs with Internet connection

Student-defined search query (topic irrelevant -- the enthusiasm of students is primary [e.g. "download song", "skateboard trick", "travel directions from home to school", etc.]) should be performed on various engines (including e.g. weather forecast, mapping services, public transportation schedules, etc.)

(no ideas yet -- early stages of development)
