ED 2255 (October 24, 2011)

    What I learned from today's lesson is five criteria for evaluating web pages: accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, coverage. I read the rubric which includes evaluation of Web documents and how to interpret the basics. If I check the five elements step by step, I would know whether I can trust a specific Web page or not. I will consider which web pages are trustful as the educational tools. The useful tip for me is to check the domains such as .edu, .gov, .org, or .net. Usually, those domains keep updated-date and are free to obtain information. After we discussed the given web pages from the instructor, we did class activity in groups. The groups evaluated the sites from the list, so we found the most best and the worst web pages. Each student in our group took a role four or five web pages, and investigated each work individually. Afterwards, we gathered to pick the best one and the worst one. It was hard for me to choose because there were some great ones. Likewise, another classmate was thinking which one was more worse then the other one. Lastly, all groups went out in front on the class and presented what they chose and why they chose the one. It was fun to recognize and analyze various web pages and to share with other groups.
