Abstract
Because the Internet is a readily accessible source of abundant and free information, an open query using an Internet search tool is often educators’ first step when seeking insights into how to improve or better understand their teaching practice, including their work as moral educators. However, even online information specifically intended for professional educators’ consumption, is not generally subject to mandated publishing regulations or other controls regarding its completeness or accuracy. This situation raises the question of whether educators are accessing quality information and of the potential impact of poor quality information on teachers’ professional decision-making.
