Instructional Technology: Metasites

This section of Kathy Schrock's comprehensive Web site helps teachers and students to critically evaluate Web pages that they find on the Internet. It provides a number of links to articles written in order for students to better judge the authenticity, applicability, authorship, bias and usability of a site. Evaluation surveys on the strengths and weaknesses of Web sites are available for the elementary, middle and secondary school levels.

A group of NEA Teacher Consultants (education employees from schools across the USA) reviewed and annotated each Web site contained in this database. Each link is included because education practitioners, parents and kids recommended these Web sites. The Web links include quality information about teaching, learning and technology. Users may search by query or by subject.

The Library of Congress sponsors this Website. The site promotes the advancement of digital references. Users can ask questions in the "Ask-A-Librarian Service".
