9 Resources for Website Evaluation Lessons

Nine days ago I published Beyond Google , an ebooklet designed to help teachers and students improve their Internet search results. What that ebooklet didn't include was resources for evaluating the quality of the websites that you find through Internet search engines. Therefore, I've compiled a list of nine resources that teachers can use as part of lesson plan about evaluating the quality and reliability of a website. Downloadable PDFs from DocStoc and Scribd 1. Evaluating Information - A Guide to Websites . - This is a one page list of guiding questions to consider while viewing a website.
