This
unit consists of four modules; Problem Based Learning, Critical
Thinking, Web Quests, and Evaluating Information. The idea is that to
be able to evaluate information critically, the student must be able to
think critically and apply those skills and dispositions to the process
of evaluating Internet sites.
The model of PBL is well suited to teaching evaluation and
analysis skills and the Web Quest is a recent lesson plan model that
complements the other processes being used here.
Altogether, these four modules should prepare students to
use critical thinking and inquiry techniques to research information on
the Internet.
