Standard Alignment: Partial alignment by covering only the Digital Literacy standard and should be considered as part of a unit that would address the standard.
Evidence of Student Objective: Has clear learning objectives that are achievable through completion of this resource.
Assessment: No assessment strategies have been indicated in the resource, so users should plan to add some type of assessment
Strengths: Gives several opportunities for students to practice in a safe setting the evaluation of website reliability. Additional lesson strength is that it utilizes high interest topics.
Weakness: The websites have quite a bit of additional advertisements on them. This additional piece could be distracting for some students.
