Basically, I think this is ridiculous. I can't imagine teaching a math lesson and giving solutions in it that I hadn't figured out on my own. I have no idea how you can explain a concept unless you've actually worked with it yourself. But to be fair, that's not even the main point of the article. I guess the big idea is that internet use sometimes threatens our intellectual 'guardedness'...
As teachers, it will be our job to train students in proper use of the internet. Looking at this topic earlier for this course, we established some guidelines for helping students discern which sites are reliable are which sites aren't. But the crazy thing is, the site this candidate teacher found her lesson plan on would have been approved by all those guidelines no problem. She got her error-riddled lesson plan off a professional site. So the lesson for all: there are no shortcuts for critically evaluating, all the time.
