Modern educational technologies are closely related to conducting a search on the Internet. Schoolchildren spend more and more time on the Web, performing the tasks of teachers, searching for the necessary in-formation, communicating with their comrades. And it is absolutely necessary that the schoolchildren them-selves should be aware of the hazards associated with the use of the Network and are critical of the infor-mation received on the Internet. The authors attempted to investigate the relation of schoolchildren to the Network, the need to use it for preparing assignments and self-development. Authors, using the Kimberly Young test and a number of others, tested schoolchildren from the 8th to 11th grade. The article discusses the results of the study.
