Teachers Evaluating Websites in the Classroom

Teachers must evaluate Websites students are visiting, especially for research, because many Websites look authentic but are not. For research papers, teachers can bring their students to the computer lab and monitor what is on the screen and is already printed. Teachers can explain what to look for in an authentic Site. Hopefully this gives students a better idea than a simple lecture in class. Obviously, teachers should be doing this to teach students how to find their own accurate Websites at school and at home so that students will learn.

  1. I hope that when kids preview website, parents are also looking at the webiste they are looking at. Of course, we all know that really doesn't always happen. I think the teacher has a responsibility to help the student understand what some good website are and how to find them.
