14 Evaluating Websites The Trust Test

15 TRUST TEST: Do you TRUST...... ~WHO wrote it? ~WHAT they wrote? ~WHERE it came from? ~WHEN it was updated? ~HOW it is designed?

16 Do you TRUST..... ~WHO wrote it? creator name sources cited ~WHAT it says? valuable information limited advertisement ~WHEN it was updated? current information ~WHERE it came from? contact information ~How it is designed? easy to read well organized no fees or personal information

17 Tried and True : Are you familiar with the website creator from other school projects? Has your teacher recommended this site as one to use? Remember to always be aware of the tilde (~) in the URL address

18 Responsible : Did the website creator cite any sources for the information presented on the site? Is there any chance the creator could be showing bias in the information you find off the website? If so, you need to note this if you choose to use this source.

19 Useful : Sites used for class projects and papers should have been created for educational, not commercial purposes. This should be easy to determine. Make sure it’s written so that YOU understand the information.

20 Stable: Wikis, blogs, and other Web 2.0 tools are not reliable educational sources. Anything found on these sites should be fact-checked with at least two other sources.

21 Timely Websites can become out of date, so be sure to note when a site was last updated.
