I am requesting an HP Chromebooks which would allow me to have more concentrated time with students so that I can examine their computer skills. Many students know how to use a computer and to find answers to questions. However, they don't know how to determine if a source is valid. They also don't know at the level I teach that multiple sources are needed when writing a paper or doing a project. Based on my observations, students tend to focus on one source and don't examine the validity of the source. We have come so far with technology, that our students don't even need to go to the library. But with this progression forward, many of our students work quality has declined. I would like to work with them on how to conduct research effectively. Show them how to find valid sources and explain to them with examples why multiple sources produce better quality work.
