Integrating the World Wide Web

What constitues a quality online educational resource?

First and foremost an educator should make certain that the site they are looking to use is credible and has the proper documentation to support its information. The author/creator of the site should be stated along with contact information and any credentials the person may have. The site should also give credit to any sources they have used and should not require the user to give their name or pay any type of fee. Content of the site is also important to look at thoroughly, whatever the title of the site claims to be about should be present throughout. It should also provide resource links to other sites along with information that is unbiased. It should be suitable for the age that you intend to use it with in both features and text and should be easy for them to navigate. The design and set up of the site should be directed towards children's use and should be presented in an appealing manner.
