This resourced filled website is helpful for teachers of all types. It is geared primarily towards locating information/resources, and then how to incorporate them in your classroom. Particularly, it allows for a simple search of various focused topics. For example, visitors can use the website to search lesson plans by subject, as well as post their own lesson plans, watch videos regarding using educational technology, and more. This website falls under the finding information section of week 6, because we (as teachers) can utilize it to locate resources we may need for class.

This fascinating website falls under the "finding information/resources" section of week 6, as it offers nearly 200 specific YouTube channels that can be used in the educational field. This site even includes an "Office of EdTech" component, which students can use to practice using technologies and their educational points. In the same way, teachers can use it to incorporate technology into lessons. This webpage serves as a means of finding resources, because it offers and describes numerous YouTube pages that present information on many needs and topics.

In this website related to evaluating resources, teachers can find tips/ideas on how to teach students to validate information and sources. Educators can offer this URL to students, and the learners can analyze what is required in authenticating information they find. For instance, the dimensions of critical analysis (relevance, accuracy, bias/perspective, and reliability) are clearly defined and explained. The teacher can then model examples of each dimension for children. Along with this and much more, questions to consider before using a source in your papers, etc. are identified.

This is a fairly simpler resource for evaluating information you uncover. The following is an example of this: the website includes the "5 W's" one should consider when validating a resource. These W's are who? What? When? Where? and why? Since this approach to questioning a source is obviously easier to understand and explain, it could be used for lower level classes to educate the kids on what to do BEFORE they use information or a source.

This easy-to-navigate website gets right to the job of evaluating information/resources. Visitors of all ages simply type in the website they want to use, and the site's search bar authenticates it. Particularly, the website states the "purpose" of the given URL. This validates the importance of the typed in resource.
