Interesting Find – Evaluating Web Sources
While looking for information on the web or connecting on links, I often ask myself ‘is this link authentic and of sound quality?’ and ‘would I share this with my students?’ So I began the search for a list of criteria that would assist me, which lead me to these great finds:
Evaluating Web Sources from the Regents of the University of California, copyright 2008; and
Evaluating Information Found on the Internet by Elizabeth E. Kirk, copyright 1996 by Sheridan Libraries.
Best of luck with your online searches.
Have a wonderful day.
Yes! Good for you. I think that teaching how to check for valid and authentic information is a very important skill for students…as well as anyone in general. It’s so easy to buy into something that SOUNDS like they know what they are talking about. For example: the website Alec showed us in class(dihydrogen monoxide).
