Useful Evaluations

The Website Evaluation Wizard from 21st Century Information Fluency lets you enter the URL of the site, then is split into eight specifics that you should look for when evaluating a website: author, publisher, objectivity, links from, date, accuracy, evidence, and links to. For each specific category, there are two to four questions to consider when evaluating the site. There are also tutorials under each category that can help you find certain parts of the website.

The site is more geared toward adults. The layout is clear and organized, but very plain and the questions related to the categories are specific but may require a little digging around the site. It is extremely user friendly, allowing you to take notes on each area and save them with the URL and title of the site.
