Website Evaluation From Common Craft

Common Craft just released another one of their very familiar video tutorials.  This one demonstrates how to evaluate websites for accurate information and reliable sources.  Often students who do research online face the dilema of having to sort through the buzz of information online and can get disillusioned at what is good information and what is simply...crap.

This simple, easy-to-understand video demonstrates how to recognize sites that contain reliable and accurate information and sources in the eyes of an editor.

This would be great to show your students just before you start your research paper or project.
