We much teach them what them to be able to recognize credible and not creditable sites. This is so important because our students need to be life long learners and the internet can be a strong instrument in learning if we can determine if the information is credible. https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/221855541 T.

Students learning to make reasoned judgement about the overall quality of online information benefits his/her research. Students must be able to recognize what different website look like  and purpose.

I think it is so important even though we need to be teaching the content and SOL'S that in the technology world we live today, we need to teach students about the internet. The internet could someday replace teacher and we need to model how to use it safely. Even though I teach 1st grade I know it is so important for students to understand the internet world and how to use it effectively and properly.

I agree with the article. I think it is important to teach today’s youth and educators how to identify good quality information on the internet. This article brought to light a lot bad habits we as students and educators have . This is a much need  topic to cover at the elementary and secondary level. Vetting websites and different information you receive from the internet has become more important then every in today’s world of fake news. We as educators should create lessons that exercise students’ evaluation skills that will help them become better web consumers and researchers.

The scholarly search engines are a must to encourage with students, as opposed to merely googling or looking something up on Wikipedia. Cross-checking facts with a variety of sources is also emphasized. https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/227784603 Bryan Godfrey]]> 2018-02-03 19:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/227784603 As scholarly practitioners, we are responsible for ensuring students understand what makes a quality website. Students amaze me. Every day I see children do things they never knew they could do. I see wonderful, loving teachers empowering and encouraging kids to find their voice, their true passions. With all the social media sites, we must have a positive influence on students and incorporate real life skills in our curriculum to make it meaningful and engaging to students. I see what children are exposed to today, and it amazes me how resilient and remarkable they truly are! Understand peer reviewed websites and their purpose will support and guide students to thinking about what it is they need and the best websites that support academic work. https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/227863160

We, as educators, need to see that these are skills that our students will carry with them for the rest of their lives. I agree that teachers need to incorporate lessons that include teaching students to evaluate websites for their use and this can be done while incorporating other aspects of classroom learning in their research.

I like this article. If I taught upper grades I would use information from this article.]]> 2018-02-05 18:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/228266618 Evaluating the Quality of Online Information https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/228402726
This article gives good guidelines for helping students evaluate online information; however, students must always think critically, even when using sources that the author of this article deems credible, i.e. magazines, scholarly journals, mainstream newspapers, and news blogs by journalists.  Students still need to check information with several sources and look for bias in what they are reading.

M. Gozzo]]> 2018-02-06 00:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/228402726 This article gives basic guidelines and cues of what to look for in a quality online source. Using books and library databases as your first line of research and is usually typical for traditional classroom teachers however, the Web is different. Being that online users are getting younger and younger, explicit tips of determining quality and credible sites include examining and determining if you are looking at a home page through the domain name or a blog. Does the "About Us" link reveal an individual person, author or sponsor. Determining they type of site and if the information is current. Overall good article https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/230306262 Yvonne Johnston]]> 2018-02-10 21:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/230306262 Evaluation of a good quality website https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/230763175 Students can be easily swayed by content on the internet, so learning to detect good quality websites is an essential skills now and in the future.

Since I teach Preschoolers, I am the one looking up information ob he web. This website gave me insight into what I need to look for in deciding what is quality information. This would be a great website for those students who are looking for information for classes and papers. L.

The article highlights the importance of students using the skills of evaluation, critical thinking and research.  The skills must be taught if students are to decipher online materials.

Students are taught to doubt the information they read unless they can identify it as a credible source, and then only if they find it on more than one credible site. Unless you are dealing with a primary source, all other sources carry an element of bias in them. I have told my students Wikipedia is an okay source to start with, but what they want to look at are the citations at the end of the Wiki articles. They also use educational databases and primary sources as much as possible.

Shelly Battista]]> 2018-02-17 18:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/232613335 Good Quality Website https://padlet.com/tsip/ws3j9gyl0vgt/wish/232792454 This article provided important information on how to determine the validity of online resources.  When looking for information on the web student neglect to check for to ensure that online content is indeed credible. Students should know that for a website to be relevant it has to be updated regularly with information that can be verified across other sources, and emanate from a reliable author or publisher.
