During the Forum, youll receive both short (Treasure Hunt) and longer forms for helping students critique websites. You also have the questions from your own website review that can be used. Try to make this a habit: Whenever students cite the web, they should give some assessment of its validity. Another great resource is the Texas Information Literacy Tutorial (TILT) at http://tilt.lib.utsystem.edu/). There are several tutorials that students can do online and their results are sent to youfree! The tutorials can help students understand when to use the web, print journal, magazine, newspaper, etc. Great resource!
