"Crap Detectors"

"What's needed for being a good writer?"According to Ernest Hemingway, "crap detecting skills" (Hobbs 35). 

Howard Rheingold, the author of Net Smart: How to Thrive Online, has actually broken this idea down into a teaching model: C.R.A.P.

C- currency
R- reliability
A- authority
P- purpose/point of view

This provides us and our students with a useful way to break information down and to weed out the crap. Specifics can be found on the link below.
