Teachers.TV have produced an excellent 14 minute programme about the critical importance for teachers to provide guidance to their pupils when using the Internet for research.
The film focuses on a group of Year 9 pupils in Leeds who are researching three topics: Martin Luther King; the holocaust; and, Victorian robots. The exercise reveals that they struggle to spot problems with validity, reliability or authority. (And don't get me started on plagiarism!)
It brings up lots of issues which clearly impact subjects beyond ICT lessons.
