Using whichever goal you choose, answer the following questions:
- What information are you needing to find? What goal are you focusing on?
- Find 3 websites with relevant information. Two (2) should be examples of good quality information, and one (1) should have information you wouldn’t necessarily trust. For each:
-
- List the page name and full URL web address
- Assess the information PROVIDER: who is in charge of the website? Why are they providing the site? Would you be able to contact them with questions?
- Assess the FUNDING: Where does the money to support this site come from? Does the site have advertisements? Are they labeled?
- Assess the QUALITY: Where does the information on the site come from? How is content selected? Do experts review the information that goes on the site? Does the site avoid unbelievable or emotional claims? Is it up-to-date?
- Assess the PRIVACY: Does the site ask for your personal information? Do they tell you how it will be used? Are you comfortable with how it will be used?
- Would you refer a friend/family member to this website? Why or why not?
NOTE: You will probably not be able to answer all these questions for every website. Be sure to note when the information is unknown or missing.
