Website Evaluating Checklists for Students
I chose the Evaluation Wizard as a tool for students to use to evaluate websites on their own. I thought this tool would be especially useful for students because it breaks down the evaluation process into author, publisher, objectivity, links from, date, accuracy, evidence, and links to. The site allows students to enter in the webpage's URL and then chose the focus of their evaluation, such as author. Once they have chosen a focus the evaluation tool tells the students in understandable language specific things to look for, such as how much experience does the author have in this area, and provides a text box for the student to type evaluation notes for that focus. An extra bonus to this site is it offers a tutorial to use if you are having trouble finding the information you are looking to evaluate, such as authors name. Overall this seems like a very useful tool for students to learn how to evaluate websites.
