Reflections after evaluating websites!

I have failed in the past when using websites for school resources. Actually, I once recorded false information on a study guide for Western Civilization course during my undergraduate years (oops!).I learned from that mistake. Now, I always cautiously enter new websites for information. It is almost humorous to read some of the information on wikipedia, although some information added is correct, many people add false information for entertainment or lack of knowledge on a subject. Since anyone in the world has the ability to create a website and add false information as he/she pleases, knowledge of website evaluation is important for me. I enjoyed this assignment because it provided new information for me to use when evaluating websites. Knowing how to quickly determine whether a website will be reliable and useful will definitely help me as a teacher searching for answers! Using peers' experiences with websites is also a great way to find new websites. In my education classes I have often found great website through my classmates. I plan on continuing this assignment every time I encounter a potential new website.
