**1. How can bogus Web sites be useful in preparing students to engage with the Internet?**
 * They can provide interesting and powerful examples of why they need to learn to use REAL when surfing the web for info. - Bruce
 * Back to black again! - Bruce
 * I agree with Bruce that the key for our students is learning the ways to discern. We want students to develop higher order thinking skills so to be able analyze and be open to ask questions is key. - Debbie
 * I agree with Bruce & Debbie, I think we need to be understanding and make sure the students understand REAL. Most of the times students do not want to take the time to read down past the first few items listed.
 * Honestly, many times we just need to see it to believe it. Showing kids bogus sites that seem credible will allow them first hand experience that these sites are out there and that they (as researchers) need to know what they are doing. -Sheila

**2. What are the comparisons between the grammar and syntax of print with the Web?**
 * I don't understand this question - Sheila

**3. Similar to Amy Tan who discovered that there are many versions of the truth about her own life on the Web, what would you do if you discovered old pictures and inaccurate information about your own important personal experiences?**
 * I'd never put personal experience on the web. You're only asking for trouble. - Bruce
 * Has anyone checked the back links to our LSA website?? - Bruce
 * This validation process is fascinating, but I don't see much use for it in the math classroom. Some people have all the fun. - Bruce
 * I do not believe personal information should be on the web. - Charla
 * I guess if it was information that was damaging or inaccurate, I would try to have the site or info removed. The problem there is that it never really goes away. Bruce - I have checked the LSA links....yikes, our website was brutal! Probably not so much at the time, but looking back now...we have come a long way. - Sheila
