This post popped up in my reader just then. Its from Intute in the UK. They provide resources for students among other activities. Well worth a look-see. This is their blog. Have you subscribed to it?
There are guides/booklets that are designed to improve the Internet experience for students. Many students just Google a term and often choose a site without applying serious critical skills. This has come up in blogs before: Intute. EduBlog Insights. There must be many more.
