Beth Dichter's insight:
There are many resources to help students learn to evaluate websites. This one uses the RADCAB as "A mnemonic acronym for information evaluation." Not only is the poster (see image above) available in an elementary version (as shown) and a middle/high school version (there is a cost). You will also find a page for each letter in RADCAB that provides additional questions and strategies as you go through the RADCAB process which is: * Relevancy * Appropriateness * Detail * Currency * Authority * Bias

These guidelines are particularly helpful in evaluating "science" sources. So much that isa presented as "science" is biased and may be more appropriately categorized as "political science".

This post is the last of a series that looks at website evaluation. Beginning with the letter A the posts were titled:
* A is for Author
* B is for Bias
* C is for Currency
* D is for Domain Anatomy
* E is for Effectiveness of Purpose
* F is for Facts and Contents
* G is for Good Link
It is not easy for students (or teachers) to learn how to evaluate websites. For each letter you may download a flyer that provides resources for students to use as they learn the process. Michael Gorman states "I believe that web evaluation must be a simple process that can also be applied to memory. Thus the reason for my (A-G) approach. This series is devoted to teaching these skills..."
If you will be working with students this year with website evaluation you may find these handouts valuable. It appears to me that they are written at a middle school level.
