Evaluating Websites
How do we decide if a website is reliable?
What was the last thing you searched on the Internet?
Thinking about the last website you search for, discuss with your group the following questions:
- What website did you go to?
- What was the purpose of the search? Personal knowledge? School project?
- Did you pay attention to the author of the website? Was that important for your purposes? Why or why not?
