With over 8 BILLION webpages on
 the world wide web, how do you
    know which ones to trust?

                   is easy.

Finding good information takes skill.
Domain Name
5 Ws of Website Evaluation

Website Characteristics
Check the website DOMAIN name. It
                  shows who sponsors the site. Some
                  sponsors are more reliable then others.
                  As a rule, the most reliable websites
                  are the ones sponsored by educational
                  institutions and governments.


Common domain names are:

edu - educational institutions
gov - government
org - usually non-profit organizations, but not always
net - organizations involved in Internet services
com - commercial organizations
WHO
Who wrote the pages and are they an expert?
Is a biography of the author included?
How can I find out more about the author?

WHAT
What does the author say is the purpose of the site?
What else might the author have in mind for the site?
What makes the site easy to use?
What information is included and does this information differ
from other sites?

WHEN
When was the site created?
When was the site last updated?

WHERE
Where does the information come from?
Where can I look to find out more about the
sponsor of the site?

WHY
Why is this information useful for my purpose?
Why should I use this information?
Why is this page better than another?
                                                         From Kathy Schrock –
                                                         5Ws of Website Evaluation
Examine the appearance and functionality of
the website. Does it look professional?
Characteristics of a good website:
The site loads quickly.
The information is easy to read.
Web pages have no spelling or
grammar mistakes.
The website is easy to navigate.
All links are active.
If there is advertising, it does not
interfere with the page, e.g. pop-up ads
or noisy video ads.
I’m getting ready to start my
research project about
Dragonflies.


Let’s see if I can find a good website.
First, I look at my search results and decide
       which sites are worth checking.
Dragonflies of
Kentucky site looks
pretty impressive.
Lots of site info and
relevant to my
research.
Hmmm… Even
though the
information is
relevant, The
Dragonfly Site is
lacking. No
author, no date
and it is affiliated
with an online
store.
