Website Evaluation Rubric

So, you're using a rubric to evaluate websites...but are you looking carefully??? Or are you easily fooled?

Check out this website about Albert Einstein using Access Key: 2770816. Find clues that this may not be the best site for information about the man. Press the Leave your feedback here button to share your thoughts and identify clues. Try to find clues no one else has found. You can sign your name or use your initials. If you email me to tell me you've done this, I'll award 10 bonus points...assuming your clues are correct! (There's a deadline on this one of March 7 at noon!)

The website scrolls at the bottom of the backboard page or you can view it a little larger here and then make comments on the Backboard page.

We're using a tool called BackBoard to do this. It's a tool that might have come in handy during your scavenger hunt activity. You post a document or a URL and invite people to leave feedback, comments, suggestions, praise, etc. Free and paid versions available. We're using the free version, of course!

Can you think of other times when a tool like this would be helpful to you as a student? As a teacher?
