Nowadays, we are witnessing a flood of information. Therefore, we need competencies for critical reading and evaluation of this information. All depends on the purpose and usage. When searching for information it is necessary to create relevant keywords; among search results it is necessary to find the ones which are relevant for our purpose and it is necessary that we evaluate them critically. At the activity we will together determine relevant keywords, show how to limit our search results so that we get the relevant information. An important source of information are social networks or the so-called virtual social spaces. In the Open space we’ll show how these modern tools can be used in the classroom. We’ll draw attention to what is to be careful about when using them. Students are quite proficient users of virtual media, but they are often unaware of what pitfalls lurk in them. Through the content of lessons, we will present what students need to consider when using social networks.
