WEBSITE EVALUATION
Do you trust everything you read on the internet?
You better say, "NO!"
There are thousands of websites that contain inaccurate, biased and just plain stupid information.
TASK
In this project you are going to learn how to tell if a web site is trustworthy or just a waste of time.
PROCESS:
1. Create a short report about the websites listed below. Every person in your group will write their own report but you should share your ideas with each other.
-
Which sites did you visit?
-
Were they trustworthy?
-
How could you tell if they were trustworthy?
2. As a group, create a list of “Trust Tests.”
-
What things should you look for on web pages?
-
What other ways can you tell if a website is trustworthy?
Use the following list of websites for your report:
-
How do you know which site is the official Mankato, Minn., home page?
-
Which one is the real website of the World Trade Organization?
-
World Trade Organization http://www.gatt.org/
