Website Evaluation Exploration by Maureen McGinty https://padlet.com/mcgmountain3/2wyg2eurk4fm Here you'll find several activities I have implemented into my lessons on Digital Citizenship at the intermediate level. I created the Website Evaluation Checklist first, but then wanted to provide the opportunity for the students to apply their understanding of the credentials for a reliable website, so I added the Collaborative Web Site Evaluation Exploration. I have chosen the background image, as a correlation to providing our students with the opportunity to stretch their wings and to become more independent in reviewing, evaluating, and incorporating credible resources into their research process. en-us 2015-04-19 16:14:20 UTC 2025-11-19 03:51:20 UTC hello@padlet.com Web Site Evaluation Checklist Activity mcgmountain3 https://padlet.com/mcgmountain3/2wyg2eurk4fm/wish/57376882 This is the exploration I have introduced after brainstorming with students using Prezi about their ideas for criteria that makes a web site credible.
