5th Grade
In 5th grade we started learning about the importance of evaluating websites to make sure they are credible, accurate, and useful. There is so much useful information on the Internet, but not everything on the Internet is credible. We evaluated a website together and asked if the author is credible, if the information is accurate, and if the information is up-to-date. Next week, students will work in teams as detectives to evaluate websites on their own.
