Three Reasons to Evaluate Internet Resources:

1. Anyone can (and probably will) put anything up on the Internet


2. Unlike traditional print resources, web resources rarely have editors, fact-checkers, and are not usually peer-reviewed (Wikipedia, Gary Paulsen)


3. Currently, no web standards exist to ensure accuracy

Look at the 3 different websites about frogs. Write a comment explaining which one has reliable frog information and why? Think about the author (are they an expert?), date it was last updated (worked on), what is the purpose of the page?
