How to Effectively Evaluate Web Resources
When doing research on the web, it is crucial that you evaluate the information you and your students find. The Internet offers information and data all over the world.
Because so much information is available, and because that information can appear to be fairly anonymous, it is necessary to develop skills to evaluate what you and your students find. Participants will look at authorship, publishing body, point of view, referral to other sources, verifiability, etc. to effectively evaluate web resources for their classrooms.
Cost: $50 or $120 (for 1 hour of graduate credit)
