Reviewing Online Resources

With the vast amount of information to be found on the web, it is important to to be able to define what is a "good" resource, versus a "bad" or "un-trustworthy." A "good" resource, I would argue, is one that contains truth about a subject, that is not misleading, and without an overt amount of bias. There are some ways to ensure that the information you are receiving is reliable. For instance, a good resource will likely have citations or refer to sources, thereby validating the information and confirming facts. Also, any website that presents the information in a professional manner would most likely be more reliable than a non-professional, typo-filled site. Once you have found a reliable source, you can use this information for your educational needs.

These are a selection of good resources related to teaching, discipline, learning, education, etc. I found them at http://www.merlot.org/merlot/index.htm. With these quality resources, teachers can have greater confidence when they teach or collaborate with others.
