Don't be a fool......

While the Internet is amazing for finding information...and finding it fast.. it's really not always reliable. As educators, it's important that we know what websites are reliable to use in the classroom. Also, we need to educate our students to not trust everything Google pops up.

Speaking of Google...the following is a useful website I found using Google to search for website evaluation checklists. While I really don't think it is a good idea (or a sign of diligence) to trust the first item in a Google search, this one happened to really impress me.

The reason I like this website is that it provides in-depth checklists for every grade level, elementary, middle, and high school. Not only that, but what really impressed me is that it provides evaluation checklists for blogs, podcasts, and teacher websites. Lastly, it has links to many relevant articles at the bottom of the page. Enjoy and be wise with your www.coms!
