I had the great opportunity to interview 11 wonderful teens from 12-19 at the ALA Gaming and Learning Symposium last night.
These kids were awesome but how’s this for a quote:
I asked how they evaluated the content they retrieved through their favourite sources (mostly Google and Wikipedia) when it was for an important task.
Paraphrasing, “I use Wikipedia a lot. I know you’re supposed to trust the sites that have a dot gov or dot edu extension, but who are you gonna trust? The government or the people?”
He was 13.
