Write a short paper or handout to give to the students in a science or history type course explaining how to determine if a web site is a good source for reliable information.

  1. Research the topic - you should read and site for me at least three articles dealing with validating the sources of information.  You will find some links at my site.  Be sure to site the articles you used.
  2. Assume that you are a college instructor or high school teacher explaining to your students how to make sure that that the information they get off the web is factual and reliable. What guidelines will you give your students?
  3. Be sure to be very complete and comprehensive so the students will have a good basis to use in doing their research.

Note that under links at my site there are some resources you can use. You can also look for your own sources.
