I have been thinking recently about the way that we no longer say that we are going to search for something on the internet. We now say that we are going to "google it". It scares me the way that Google has become synonymous with the term to search.
This video, entitled "Digital Literacy in the Google Generation" was mentioned by a fellow classmate on the university forums. It poses and interesting question about what we need to teach our students so that they become more informed critical thinkers.
This image was in the above video. It is one of my favourites.
