Critical Thinking and Digital Literacy will engage students in deep learning about internet research. Students will build critical thinking research strategies by analyzing and evaluating online information, recognizing information patterns and connections, identifying and constructing meaningful knowledge, and understanding information access in online environments. Students will survey digital literacy’s three main components: finding and consuming digital content; creating digital content; and communicating or sharing digital content. Other related topics include information competency and the evaluation, validation, and citation of Internet sources. The class will culminate in an independent research investigation on a topic important to the student.
