As part of a graduate class, we were to evaluate a website. I never really thought about websites and if they were valid or not. This process made me more aware of the resources I use and that I need to make my students more aware.
I used a process from Web Literacy for Educators written by Alan November called Get Real.
R - read the url...looking for the extensions as a means to determine if the information is reliable
E - examine the content...what other resources or links are on the site...is it updated...is the information correct
A - ask about the author
L - links...look at the forwarded links...do the domain names change
Below is a link to a screencast of my evaluation of the website Save The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus on Screen Toaster.
