Evaluating Online Sources

Warm-up, Practice

Warm-up, Practice:

Let's take a look at some kid-friendly websites. Just look over them a little bit and try to find something to pursue. Think about what “information needs” you might have about the topic. Next, think about how you would gather information about it. What do you need to know? What would you like others to know? How would you share this information? Who created this information? Where did they get it from?
