Week #2 - Connectivism

"The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital."  This rang such a bell with me!  How often have I worked with students doing research and they take any information from the internet as 100% true and important, jotting everything down enthusiastically?  Besides outright plagiarizing,  I would be doing a disservice to my students if I did not teach them how to look critically at the source of online material as well as discriminate between what's true and not, important or not.  (That is much easier said than done.)
