Workshop Description
Your students have just found a website called GenPets. They appear to be selling Biogentic Pets. Animals created in a laboratory? Hmmmmm……. It looks very real. As an adult, you know it is a hoax – but how will your students know? Even as adults, we wander into websites that seem questionable – but are just not quite sure.
Learn a quick and easy way to evaluate what you and your students see on the web. You will leave with an incredibly easy and reliable web evaluation checklist suitable for grades 3-12 (and adults too!). Just think – no more waiting for that check from the Nigerian Royal Family to arrive in your bank account! This workshop was designed to open educators' eyes to the need to evaluate, how to teach children to recognize unreliable websites; and how to hold students accountable for the resources they choose - on and offline.
