LESSON
Choosing Sources
How do we match our information needs with the best online sources?
When it comes to searching the internet, not all sources are equal. So it's critical to teach students how to move beyond clicking the first search result or accepting an AI response. Instead, help them learn to identify credible sources and match them to specific research purposes. Through hands-on practice with evaluating scenarios, students gain the confidence to select sources that are not just trustworthy, but also appropriate for their particular information needs.
