It is all good and well to get information from the internet to use in teaching and learning. However, we sometimes do not take the time to examine the materials and ensure that they are purposeful, the sources are credible, accurate and free from bias.Standards for publishing information are absent from the internet. Hence, we need to evaluate sites and information before presenting them to our students and in the same vain we need to teach our students how to evaluate information that they get from the web and other sources. Some criteria would include: Source, Content,currency, Authorship, bias/Intention, Site Design and access.
