[Ohiogift] Googling the truth?

[Margaret DeLacy]

Friends:

Below is a link to an article entitled "why students can't Google their way to the truth, " By Sam Wineburg and Sarah McGrew that appeared in Education Week on November 1, 2016

In my view, it also shows why the exclusive emphasis from politicians on the need for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) (or STEAM) (STEM and the arts) in our education system, to the detriment of languages, humanities and social sciences, may be misguided.
