Evaluating Web Pages, a Webquest

Link: http://mciu.org/~spjvweb/evalwebteach.html

The information source your students use most frequently is likely to be the Web. They will have little trouble actually gathering information these days. In fact they will be flooded with it. Selecting the "best stuff" is going to be their real challenge. It is up to us as teachers to help them to understand that the quality of information varies greatly. The Internet has no "filter" for quality, taste or reliability. No editorial board determines the publication of material. Anyone can publish anything on the Internet.Can the Internet still be a solid source of information for our students? Absolutely! It is exciting to have access to thousands of perspectives, constantly breaking news and information that is both visually entertaining and informative. But, if we are to maintain high expectations of student research efforts and their information products, we need to offer them guidance and practice in the thoughtful evaluation of sources.Site designed by Joyce Valenza
