WEB SITE EVALUATION Because Not All Web sites are Useful, and Not All are True One way to evaluate web sites is to ask yourself THE FIVE Ws & H of WEB SITE EVALUATION

WHO- Who is the author of the website? Does the author have a website? Is there a way to contact the author? WHAT- What does the website say? Does it make sense or is ridiculous and unbelievable? What is the purpose of the website? Is the information reliable?

WHEN- When was the website written or last updated, posted, or published? Is it current? WHERE - Where does the url show the website resides? Is it an .edu, .gov, .com, or .net? Do links produce error messages? Are the links useful and informative?

WHY- Why is the website useful? Why should I use this website over another? Are the graphics helpful and informative? HOW- How easy is it to use this website? Does the site appear professional and well organized?
