THE PROBLEM AND THE CHALLENGE
“Alvin Toffler (1993), a prominent technology futurist, predicted that individuals would have more information at their desktop than was available during an entire lifetime at the turn of the 20th century; this prediction may prove conservative.”“Technology capabilities hold considerable promise for teaching and learning, but current practices may prove insufficient in optimizing available resources and preparing individuals to learn in resource-rich environments. Schools and classrooms need to become resource intensive (Reigeluth, 1988)”

WHAT’S WRONG WITH GOOGLE SEARCH?
Search engines help to locate, access and retrieve potential (educational resources)
BUT usually… These resources are scattered They are not certified (why is this important?) They do not help the teacher (or the user, in
general) to determine their relevance or meaning
They are not somehow evaluated
