Exercise
The student will individually review the four common misconceptions about the internet. This will be followed by a small group discussion. Students will then be asked to add any additional misconceptions that they've heard which are not covered in the TILT portion of the presentation. Jotting down these additional misconceptions may help to get students thinking (and hopefully questioning) what other misunderstandings about the Internet might exist. This could be a good opening for discussion of more traditional library databases, the Invisible Web, etc.
(Note: the student does not need to complete the entire tutorial, simply the portion with the 4 misconception bubbles.)
