website_evaluation

There are many ways to think about having students evaluate websites. Here are a few:

**** **Currency** - When was it written? How often does it get updated? **Reliability** - Are there references given? Is the content biased or balanced? **Authority** - Who wrote the page? Is there evidence that the author or organization is an expert on the subject? **Purpose** - Why was the page put on the web? Are there ads? Who is the intended audience? Website Analysis and Stats - Useful information about websites Quantcast - Find site profiles

Here's another technique!

Predict: Do you think your site is a reliable source of information? Question: How do you know that a website has accurate information? Clarify: How do you go about checking on the validity of websites? Summarize: Which strategies were most useful? Which were not?
