Evaluating Websites
Use
these sites and tools to help you evaluate
websites you use either from The Classroom
or other sources of information on the
Internet. Remember just because it is on the
Internet does not make it accurate or true.
1.Who are the
authors? Is it a university,
government agency, noted
expert, student, teacher or
just someone who wants to
create a site.
2. Is the
information and materials
current?
3. Is the
information bias, vague or
irrelevant?
4. Have others
reviewed or commented on the
site?
5. Does the
author support his or her
information with sources,
and other resources? We
use Wikipedia and YouTube on
many of our pages. Some
teachers don't accept
Wikipedia as and
informational source. They
are a starting point but not
a reliable primary source of
information. Use them to get
an understanding of the
topic and check the
information they give you.
BY ALL MEANS DON'T COPY AND
PASTE ANYTHING WITHOUT THE
PROPER NOTATIONS!
