Retired Lebanon High School history and government teacher Art Pease, of Lebanon, saw an exponential increase in the use of the internet for schoolwork starting in the early 2000's and tried to teach students to use critical thinking when choosing their sources. He urged his students to consider the difference between truth and accuracy, with a story about what seemed to be a clear memory watching the Vietnam draft lottery with his fraternity brothers at the University of New Hampshire in 1967. When a friend reminded him that the lottery occurred in 1969, he realised his memory was not accurate. "Was I lying, or was I telling the truth?" he asked. "I contend I was telling the truth as I understood it, but it wasn't accurate." Wednesday, January 18, 2017. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
