Savvy Surfing
Israeli society and the Jewish world are
blessed with a broad diversity of opinion. We can embrace the democratic idea
that no one person or group has a monopoly on the truth, but there are also a
lot of lies floating around cyberspace.
Choose
sites you recommend for younger students, before sending them to conduct an open-ended search.
Enable older students to become savvy web users. Show them the
difference between news and views, and between reasonable opinions and hateful
prejudice.
It's all on the web.
