Many children love computers, but knowing what keys to press does not constitute electronic information literacy. What children need to learn in this Information Age is how to find, select, evaluate, and use information effectively. These pre-tested, ready-to-go Internet activities and lesson plans are designed to help librarians, teachers, and parents teach children (grades 3-5) critical thinking skills. Learning activities range from rudimentary basics to lessons that foster active learning when using the Internet, the Web, e-mail, chat groups, and instant messaging. A glossary, a child safety on the Internet section, and formats for citing electronic information that are suitable for children complete the volume.
