Overwhelmed with different pieces of information from all over the Internet, it is difficult to distinguish between true, adjusted, valuable, false [and] fake information. The main argument that the author makes in this book is how to teach students to find valuable digital content, or, in his words, "how to become digital content curators". It is a very important subject, and, throughout this book, it [is] thoroughly explained. […] The book is appropriately written for a student audience but also for other readers. […] I would propose to every student to read the book and think about its propositions regarding Internet searches."Iskra Tomić KaseljDepartment of Early and Preschool Education, University of Split, Croatia
