I learned that a website can be deceiving and it is important to evaluate its' validity. I will evaluate websites before using them in my classroom to make sure they have reliable authors, publishers, information, and easy accessibility. Websites should always list some sort of contact information and references so the viewer can get in contact is needed. I did not think to look at the currency of the information. So often people just look at the first website they stumble upon and forget to check for current dates and accurate information. I learned that personal websites can seem like professional websites until you search for the reliability and there is none. Evaluating a website, especially for educational purposes, is very important. When using websites in the classroom I will make sure to check for validity and make sure I navigate through the site before my students do.
