Anticipation Guide: Agree or Disagree?

1. Information on the Internet is usually accurate and true.

2. I always look on a website to check who wrote or edited an article.

3. There are certain websites that I intuitively trust and others I intuitively doubt.

4. I always check a website for the date is was last updated.

5. If a website serves my immediate needs, I don’t care who wrote it or when it was written.

6. I always keep the author or publisher’s purpose in mind when I use a website.

Part 2: Helping Students to Navigate

Sources

Page 27: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

“Simply being exposed to a variety of resources will not lead to learning unless the students

know where to locate these resources and how to use them.”

(Kung, 2013, p. 28)

Page 28: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

Necessary Student Skills

• Efficiently locate information.• Quickly evaluate the source.• Decide whether to stay with a

source or move on.

(Kung, 2013)

Page 29: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

WWWDOTA method for teaching students how to evaluate their website

sources.

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)

Page 30: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

WWWDOT1.Who wrote this and what

credentials do they have?2.Why was it written?3.When was it written?4.Does it help meet my needs?5.Oganization of the site?6.To-do list for the future?

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)

Page 31: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

Who wrote this and what credentials do they have?

Students should consider whether the author or organization is qualified to

write about the topic.

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)

Page 32: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

Why and how was it written?

Students should evaluate the purpose of the information found.

The purpose can affect the accuracy and thoroughness of a source.

Possible purposes:To shareTo sellTo persuadeTo educate

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)

Page 33: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

When was it written?Students should look for information

on when the source was last updated.

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)

Page 34: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

Does it help meet my needs?

Students should stay focused on the objective or goal of their project and make

sure the website addresses that goal.

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)

Page 35: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

Organization of the Site

Websites should be readable and easy to navigate.

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)

Page 36: Navigating Your Online Resources Using Rubrics

To-Do List for the Future

Students should check their sources against other sources and remember that no one website or

source will necessarily contain all that they need for a project or report.

(Zhang, et. al, 2011)
