4th graders evaluate websites

Fourth grade students are evaluating websites in the media center. Students are encouraged to use information only from sources that they know are reliable. Broken links and words that are misspelled are clues that the website may be unreliable. If the webpage has not been recently updated, perhaps a more current source is needed. Helpful hints on website evaluation are found at
