Product Description
The Critical Edge - Thinking and Researching in a Virtual Society
From the Author
The Critcal Edge includes how to think, research and write.
The advent of the World Wide Web created a considerable change in society’s ability to access information. However, effective use of the Internet has not equaled the speed of technological advancements. While many new books have addressed specifically how to utilize the Internet and the World Wide Web, most failed to take into account that we are in a transitional process. Most academic research is still being done in conventional libraries. But with more students gaining access to the web, they need a reference that is a synthesis of how to use new and traditional methods to create research projects. They also need to know that while Web pages look flashy, just about anyone can post anything they wish. Because of this, critical evaluation skills are vital to determine the validity of the source as well as the bias. Studies show that students learn best when they construct meaning based on their experience. Just spending hours lost in the Web is an easy trap, but it doesn’t ensure learning. Students need learn how to use the skills they have. Add to that evaluation and Web researching skills and the student will truly have the necessary tools to do their best writing. The Critical Edge provides the student with that transition. This text would not have been possible without the generosity of F.J. "Joe Thornton." His technical expertise, vast knowledge, and endless wealth of resources were crucial to the development of the book.
