Website Evaluation

Learning how to use the internet and its resources is extremely important for educators and their students, and the ability to shuffle through appropriate information is a huge aspect of efficient internet use in the curriculum. Students and educators alike need to be able to verify whether the information found on websites is valid and current. Being very familiar with using the internet for research, I am a fairly good judge of the credibility of a website. Checking timestamps, domain names, and site layouts can provide some clues.
