HELLO YEAR 4: This is a Page for ICT Classroom Demonstration Purposes Only
Well, after having spent so much time talking to my students about the transit of Venus 2012, the day finally came and went, and guess what I only managed to watch 5 minutes of the live footage.

Anyway, for today's lesson we are going to look at the 3 criteria of assessing websites for research purposes.

When doing web research, you might want to consider the following criteria:

- is this from a credible source? for example. Who is the author? What is he/she writing about? Who are they writing for? Why is he/she writing it?

- is this information accurate? for example, ask yourself : What do I (already) know about this subject I am reading? Does it agree with other information I have found? Can I followed up the references

- is this information current? When was it updated? ask yourself: When is this article published? Do you know where do find the publish date on the web page? Did you know not all web pages are up to date!
