For those who believe the Web fosters only barely mindful surfing, we offer the following site as counterargument. Maintained by a professor at the University of Melbourne, Critical Thinking On The Web offers an extensive, annotated directory of resources dealing with the broad topic of critical thinking. In addition to a useful top ten that includes such Websites as Critical Thinking: What it is and Why it Counts? and Skeptics.com, the directory offers dozens of headings on related topics such as Great Critical Thinkers, Statistics and Probability, Language and Thought, as well as listings of journals, electronic mailing lists, bibliographies, and the like. We were impressed with both the number of resources and the helpfulness of the individual annotations.
