Module 3 readings response:

 When it comes to using the internet as a resource I think students need to undergo a crash course around the time they enter high school to teach them how to find sources that are valid and reputable. Most people start and finish their inquiry with a google or wikipedia source. In the Leu et al. (2013) paper it discusses how different literaces can be deixis, which means there meaning can change over time or based on a different perspective. An example of this would be that prior to the internet boom in the 2000's book sources were considered to be the most valid source of information, especially for academic purposes, now most people consider physical book sources to be too difficult to scan and find the information they need, opting for faster online versions of the books that are searchable or websites that have reviewed and summarized the book. Many organizations, including the high school that I intern at have digitized a large portion of the physical books and have been put in an online library system that only the students have access to. I think this is a great idea because students can still utilize the books in the library while still doing so quickly as is the norm of today's information inquiries. Some ideas from the readings and from my education on how to ensure a source is valid are as follows:
