Internet Sites
Parents---one of the greatest challenges of the internet is teaching your children that just because it is written doesn't make it real or true. One of the most popular sites that school kids use in research is Wikipedia. This site has the potential of being changed by anyone that has an account. There isn't a lot of control over who changes what or how accurate the information is. Because it has such potential, it also has the potential to be a very unreliable source--especially for academic research.
For that purpose, I have added 3 links to the blog to the left side that will take you to well-documented sources. PLEASE teach your kids to be picky in their trust of resources and to have them prove their information.
Thanks to Mr Simmons here at school, I have found another awesome resource for full text articles.The Gutenberg Projectcan be found at the following link: The Gutenberg Project
Mr. Simmons also taught me about the Internet History Source Book which also has complete articles. I enjoyed one written by Pasteur on the necessity of cleanliness in the surgical theater. It was neat to be able to go to the original source and to get a feeling for the individual. If you need original history documents, you can go to the following link: The Internet History Source Book
Part of the vision here at Paradigm is to help parents help their children in their understanding of truth. In order to understand it, they must be able to get it from unpolluted sources. These links are an effort in helping you as we work together to give our children truth. Enjoy!
