| Abstract |
There is a tremendous amount of information available on the World Wide Web. Some of this information is good, sound research data; some is opinion. Some of the data are there for information; some for persuasion. When a person, whether a student, teacher, researcher, businessperson, or interested individual searches the World Wide Web, the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming. Further, any search may or may not lead the individual to the specific information source they seek. How can an individual determine the appropriateness or validity of the information they're Finding. This has been an issue of great discussion over the past few years. Much of the use of the Web in education has been criticized for allowing information from the Web to be used by students without critical consideration. Several projects, especially in libraries throughout the U.S., have focused on ways of evaluating web sites. This document is a reference tool for educators to use in preparing students to think critically on the use of the Web. The criteria laid out within this document come from a broad array of sources. |
