Google is a very useful research tool. But the quality of information one acquires via Google depends entirely on one's ability to discern, evaluate and make critical judgments.
Thanks,
So it seems nobody is stating that teachers specifically tell students to go home and do a search.
I understand the sensitivity of the issue of the ordering of search results , and how such ordering can be manipulated. The results of certain politically sensitive searches can be rather interesting. For example, if a user does a text search using only the name of HITLER, the search results are ordered in way that is obviously meant to be politically correct.
But if one does an IMAGE search on the name HITLER, the results come back in an order much more unorthodox and provocative. For example an image search on HITLER returns 12 million images. Unexpectedly, the third image in the search result is associated with a site that features Adolf Hitler Jokes!
