Internet literacy project

I was assigned to the fifth grade classroom. The most impressive class i have observed on the week 1 is definitely Internet literacy project. As a group of 4 students, they researched about one topic from the three topics that teacher presented. Topics are 'Tree Octopus', 'Dog Island', and 'Charging iPod with Orange'. These topics all have professionally looking like websites and videos on Google and You Tube. However, they are all false information designed to deceive people. At first as teacher intended, students believed that all of these topics are real without any doubt. Since students had to present about the topic they chose to the rest of the students, they gathered information about it. For one week, some students started to find out that the topic is not true and they realize the information from You Tube and Google cannot always be trusted. At the end of the week, all students got an important lesson which is the importance of internet literacy from this project. I think this project was very brilliant because students got to learn about internet literacy by themselves and they would never forget this experience.
