Digital and critical literacy

The video "digital and critical literacy" explained how a hoax website was used to explain to students how critical evaluation of a website is crucial for effective research. Many students tend to believe everything they read on the internet as it is presented in a particular format, as a website's reliability can be more difficult for students to criticise if it looks good. The students need to examine the construction, values, conventions, who is the intended audience and the ownership. The video also goes into the importance of professional development for teachers as a lot of teachers are unfamiliar with such technology.
