Evaluating Web Sites
Fifth grade students have been learning how to evaluate websites. We use the simple to remember "Who,What,When,Where and Why?" method. Even though we have lessons on the Internet and digital citizenship on a regular basis, it always surprises them somewhat to find out that they can't always tell a real website from a hoax on their own. When they used the 5 W's though, they did a better job of finding reliable sites that they can trust.
