How can teachers assess the validity and authority of internet resources? This section provides links to articles and websites that help teachers to determine which internet resources are reliable.
Some websites define evaluation criteria, such as: appropriateness of content to the audience, authenticity and authority of the source, and affiliation of the author. Other sites focus on copyright issues.

All About Explorers
https://www.allaboutexplorers.com/
All About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet.
Although the Internet can be a tremendous resource for gathering information about a topic, we found that students often did not have the skills to discern useful information from worthless data.
So we set out to develop a series of lessons for elementary age students in which we would demonstrate that just because it is out there for the searching does not mean it is worthwhile.
Important Note
This is a site designed to get students to question the authenticity of information on the web ... ask yourself if the info is true ... (check the teachers notes)

Checking the accuracy of information on a web page
http://21cif.com/members/access-denied
Why should we check the accuracy of information on a web page?
The accuracy of factual information can help you judge the credibility of the author. Accuracy of information can also provide clues to possible bias in the resource under investigation.
Don't rely on first impressions. Ask Questions!
How can you check the accuracy of information on a web page?
Triangulation of Data: This is a standard for serious research. Find at least three sources that agree on the same data point. If you can't find three credible resources that confirm the data, be suspicious.
Is it Accurate? Shall we play a game? Try this interactive micromodule companion for a hands on experience in determining the accuracy of web-based information. Test your skills at:
-finding embedded evidence
-checking evidence for accuracy
-triangulation of data
