Website Evaluation

This activity was quite useful in helping me learn to evaluate websites more effectively. I now have a checklist and know what to look for in websites for my students. In the past I would have been rather reckless in finding websites for students. I had no idea what to look for in a good website and how to know if a website was even remotely reliable or just trying to sell me a product or look good and flashy. It took me awhile to find the author, and start date, and last revised date, and other important things like that. I had no idea these were so vital in a good website. How can I trust a site that hasn't been revised in 5 years? In the future I will be much more careful when looking for valid websites, especially when it pertains to my students.
