One of the five C's in Internet Research

I just finished reading the online tutorial of The Internet Detective, and I loved it! I plan on using it toward the beginning of the year, before I assign my first research/presentation project about the francophone countries. I thought that it provided useful information (using an appealing language and style also!) to bring our attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet. It shows the different steps that the students could use to apply critical thinking while selecting information through the 3W (who, where, what). I would definitely use the Martin Luther King website as an introduction to this topic in the classroom to demonstrate the importance of questioning and connections (Include one of the five Cs in their thinking :)
