Evaluating Internet Pages Activity
SWBIC Educational Resources >> Workshops >> Extreme Biotechnology >> Activity
The instructor will assign each group a set of the links below.
Link to each page in the set and determine if they are appropriate resources for a lesson on “Life on Mars.” Pages should be evaluated using criteria such as: accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage. (See http://lib.nmsu.edu/staff/susabeck/evalcrit.html)
A group discussion will then be held.
