Web Site Evaluation

The web site evaluation form I liked the best was at http://www.ncsu.edu/midlink/tutorial/WWW.eval.html. I liked that one because each area has a point system and the total points tells you whether the web site is credible enough or not. One thing I discovered about one web site using the evaluation was that the web site hasn't been updated in a while. The value of using a website evaluation form is that it's easier to decide whether the site is a credible source or not. It reminds you to check for things that you might otherwise forget about. I would use a formal evaluation if I was doing research for something or if I wanted my students to get information from a website.
