Finally, when you are evaluating a web site for classroom use, look for the following things: · Who wrote/published it (usually at the bottom of the page, if not readily apparent) · Date last updated/published · Keep in mind that studies have found that Wikipedia is as accurate (if not more so) than any other online encyclopedia.
