Now this is why we must teach Internet Literacy ...

I have just been forwarded the following web link:

Cambodian Troops Quarantine Quan'sul

Could you explain to a pupil why this is a very clever hoax?

Well, it looks very much like a real site. It's links all go out to BBC sites. There's a few telltale signs though. First of all it's not a BBC site adress. Then, the links on the right are to lebanese sites, not the cambodian sub-section. It was pretty good though. My first reaction to this article was 'This is amazing'... then skepticism kicked in. In either case, it's really good.
