Of especially high importance --- if not the highest importance --- would be the ability to scrutinize sources for their depth of research, their reliability, and an overall sense of fairness. Is the source biased, or foolish? Is the medium used for academic dialogue or as a bully pulpit?

How to include others' ideas in one's own work (without just hitting copy and paste, and then hoping your teacher / professor doesn't know how to use Google, as many students do). Good research is using a variety of sources selectively to support your own purposes, while giving credit to the original sources. This is a skill that needs to be taught.

Students require the ability to annotate web pages and draw information together from many sources (using the likes of Diigo, Fleck, Zotero, or whatever new applications arise). They also need to be able to skim quickly through a vast array of sites, in order to select only the most relevant information.
