Week 9: Reading 2

The web is an excellent tool used to gather resources for teaching or to direct learners gathering and producing their own resources.

This document lists excellent questions to ask when considering the validity and accuracy of an online resource.

It would be interesting to study the opinion of "web trustworthiness" based on generational experiences. For instance, is a child today better equipped to discern between accurate and inaccurate sites than a person first exposed to the web in early adulthood?
