Teaching children about the internet can be a complicated process but there is no doubt that they need to learn essential skills in how to approach this tool.
I have learnt that the basic skills I take for granted when using search engines need to be explicitly taught to children. Children have many misconceptions about using 'google' as a search engine because they do not know how to use it in the most effective way. Skills such as note taking, identifying key words and finding accurate and reliable websites are crucial for students to master in order to understand and discover relevant and appropriate information.
