Re our discussion a while back about online reading skills, here's an
interesting article from Educational Leadership about teaching high school
kids some reading skills for online reading that are different from
reading books. The article suggests teaching four strategies:
1. Evaluate search results to see which links look the most promising
2. Different scanning skills for navigating web sites
3. Evaluating reliability
4. How to synthesize rather than copying

Some examples of activities and worksheets are included.
