| Materials | Chromebooks, websites |
I chose this particular lesson because I usually give my students their resources that they can use. This would allow the students to try and find their own resources along with work on their website evaluation skills. By using Diigo, the students would be able to create a collaborative list of bookmarked websites for them to use for their research.
I think that I may run into problems with my students saving websites that are not reputable resources for their research. However, that could be used as a good teaching tool to review how to tell if a website is good or not. This lesson would allow students more freedom and responsibility for their research project.
