Post #5

One topic covered in chapter 7 is the evaluation of web-based resources. This is a highly beneficiary skill for both teachers and students; especially when writing or grading research papers. A majority of research is now done using the Internet. Since information on the web is not always completely true, to say the least, the ability to critique the accuracy and reliability of a site is very helpful.

In the past week I learned how to assess the reliability of a web resource and create a form to aid my students in their web resource assessments. I'll be able to directly use this skill as a teacher by creating another assessment form to distribute to my students.

Is anyone else beginning to feel these blogs are tedious and repetitive? Just a thought.
