4. A word about Digital Natives 10 Strategies To Encourage Digital Natives To Value Information It sounds counter-intuitive, but periodically create information-scarce circumstances that force students to function without it. Illuminate—or have them illuminate—the research process itself. Do entire projects where the point is not the information, but its utility. Use think-alouds to model the thinking process during research. Create single-source research assignments where students have to do more with less. Change the assignment mid-course by demanding new resources other than those most accessible. Create the need for “open-ended data” they can’t possibly Google. Have them create a visual metaphor, analogy, or concept map before and after the research process that demonstrates the role that Google, and Google-sourced information, played. Have students create a concept-map or other clever characterization for the limits of Google (or any other search engine). Use a balance of both post primary and secondary sources. http://www.teachthought.com/technology/tea ching-google-natives-to-value-information/
