As I continue to explore the web and all of the possiblities, I looked forward to creating my screencast this week exploring a website and evaluating it for validity.
I examined a site Britain for Americans that was clearly not a valid site as the flags were mislabled and the information clearly showed bias. I was not able to locate an author or any reliable source to validate the information. The website has been rarely searched for over the past 10 years, among other factors. Yet, the site illustrates the need to educate students about the critical elements of evaluating websites, while not as blatenly incorrect as some cited in the text, students who stumbled across the website could quickly receive a wrong impression and false information.
