 Now that school is in session, students are busy doing their homework, projects and research online. It's critical that they know how to find and use credible websites and sources. Along with ways to become "web smart," we have also included student and teacher productivity tools to help set the stage for a successful year.

 Web Smarts
Your
students are plugged in, but how much do they really understand about the
information they access on the internet? Is a website credible, can it be trusted?
Web Smarts is designed to help students become more web literate and learn
strategies for identifying sources of web content, as well as methods for
assessing the accuracy of the content.
