i. Pop-ups and Banner Ads-A type of window that appears on top of (over) the browser window of a Web site that a user has visited. In contrast to a pop-under ad, which appears behind (in back of) the browser window, a pop-up is more obtrusive as it covers other windows, particularly the window that the user is trying to read. Pop-ups ads are used extensively in advertising on the Web, though advertising is not the only application for pop-up windows. (Webopedia)

e. Questions
i. What is the meaning of information literacy for teachers and students?
Teachers and Stundets need to be able to locate, evaluate, use and share information. (www.cslub.edu)
ii. What are search engines and how do they work?
Search engines are the key to finding specific information on the vast expanse of the World Wide Web. Without sophisticated search engines, it would be virtually impossible to locate anything on the Web without knowing a specific URL. When people use the term search engine in relation to the Web, they are usually referring to the actual search forms that searches through databases of HTML documents, initially gathered by a robot.(Webopedia)
iii. What pieces of information do students need to know about Internet searching?
The Internet is an especially valuable research tool when you are looking for information that is current and updated often. You can find current data, as well as news on current events, on the Web. Many news web sites are updated many times each day. Most major newspapers, for example, have web sites that are updated throughout the day. The Internet is not the best place to find established viewpoints in their original form since it is often the case that information is changed from its original source. Information on the Internet is often second, third, even fourth hand. Published books remain the safest place to get established fact and opinion, especially if you are looking for traditional, mainstay ideas. (Centage)
iv. How can teachers and students thoughtfully evaluate online information resources, including the online encyclopedia Wikipedia?
You might be able to find current quotations from prominent public figures on the Internet, but if you are working in an area in which there are certain key thinkers, writers, theorists, and practitioners who have published fundamental work, it is best to go directly to those sources rather than relying on what is often second-hand reporting (or worse) on the Internet. (Centage)
v. How can teacher respond to problems of plagiarism when students use online sources?
Plagiarism matters to educators because acts of plagiarism can undermine the student learning outcomes that they have for their courses. Approaching plagiarism as an opportunity for teaching and learning, rather than exclusively focusing on detection and punishment, has significant benefits for both students and educators. Discussions about plagiarism allow students and instructors to focus on understanding intellectual property, evaluating sources, engaging deeply with others’ ideas, and employing conventions for authorial attribution. (DePaul)
