In response to Anne's suggestion (below), I would only caution that there is no reason to suppose that online sources are any more inherently reliable than textbooks.
On the contrary, students urgently need to be taught how to think critically about historical information conveyed by all media-- and in particular, how to evaluate the reliability of history-oriented Web sites.
