More on the Pew report findings

The Pew report also says" Our survey of teens also tracked some core internet activities by those ages 12-17 and found:

* 62% of online teens get news about current events and politics online.
* 31% of online teens get health, dieting or physical fitness information from the internet. And 17% of online teens report they use the internet to gather information about health topics that are hard to discuss with others such as drug use and sexual health topics."

What other steps can we take to help students find quality information like TeensHealth.org or those listed on New Trier's Health Resources page?
