Alan November in his article "Teaching Zack to Think" (http://novemberlearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/teaching-zack-to-think.pdf) gives pieces of advice on how to learn children be attentive with information from the internet. First of all, it is necessary to define the purpose of the website because it is one of the main criteria for evaluating information on it. If you see the word "professor", it does not mean that he gives reliable information because there are plenty of professors in different areas whos opinions can vary a lot. Also, it is a good idea to look for some sources of information beyond the internet.
The great example of the importance of evaluating the quality of information the article written by Arthur R. Butz who claims that the Holocaust had never happened
