Finding and Evaluating Online Resources

Evaluating Web Sites
This is a nice list of resources available for evaluating Web sites, both for students and adults. Especially good is the information about thinking critically about the World Wide Web.
WWW Search Engines
Two of my favorites are Google for adults and KidsClick! or Yahooligans for kids. Search the Web to find the best Web sites for your WebQuest. Another good resource is the Curriculum page in Kent School District.
