Annotation:
It is important to evaluate the information found in a webpage and the site that I have included here helps you to do that. It has a fairly in depth analysis that the author recommends you perform before totally trusting the information that you found on the page. It covers five steps that you should consider and each step includes questions that you should ask to confirm the validity of the site. The site includes links that link directly to a glossary of Internet and Web Jargon, which could be helpful if you are unsure of a meaning or term. It teaches you to look for information regarding the author, the currency of the information and working links etc. It also includes a Web Page Evaluation Checklist in PDF format that you can download and complete. Many techniques for evaluation are outlined in this site and for this reason I find it to be a valuable electronic resource.
