In the short term, I completely agree that this is the way to go. However, a while ago I read a great article recommended in Wendy's Environmental Blog. The article, "The Long Emergency" discusses life after fossil fuels. Based on that article, animal husbandry, fire building, and self-defense would be even MORE relevant to our students' long term survival than online research skills. However, I'm not going to drop my class blogs, wikis, Moodle's and other social learning tools to teach basic survival, but maybe we should be teaching them how to find THAT information.
