Access to Internet
The internet is a time-efficient tool for everyone that

understand and assess that information. Searching for
information on the internet can help to develop these
skills.

Access to Internet
Classroom exercises and take-home assessment tasks,
where students are required to compare website
content, are ideal for alerting students to the
requirements of writing for different audiences, the
purpose of particular content, identifying and judging
accuracy and reliability. Since many sites adopt
particular views about issues, the internet is a useful
tool for developing the skills of distinguishing fact
from opinion and exploring subjectivity and
objectivity.
