Are schools taking
advantage of the information superhighway, or sending kids out
onto an advertisers' speedway? Fabos (communication studies, U. of
Northern Iowa) puts the brakes on to show teachers, policymakers,
researchers, and parents how students are being exposed to a
commercialized version of a system that once promised to educate them.
She suggests ways to take the Net back for schools, such as the
development of noncommercial subject directories, the teaching of
information literacy skills, and the emergence of a digital archiving
movement. |
