A Learning Module for WIT 2002 adapted by Darlyne Delaney
TEACHING GUIDE

 

Introduction:

The Internet is populated with websites that can be useful to you and to your students.  The Internet is also populated with websites that are irrelevant, misleading and/or academically suspect.  With so much available, how does one go about evaluating the content, style and feel of the websites?  As a result of this lesson, you will be able to:
  • take a critical look at various websites and Internet resources to determine their credibility and usefulness
  • gain insight into what makes a website "good" in view of applying that knowledge to building your own page/website
  • explore and evaluate web-based lessons
