I am always trying to show real life examples of why you need to be = sceptical of what you read on the web. I have plenty of examples of = "hoax" sites, such as the California Velcro site, the Clones R Us site and = other such sites - but high school students generally can pick those out = right away. I am looking for sites that LOOK very authoritative - but = either have no information about the author at all, or are written by = authors with no qualifications. The web pages can be about any topic. Sites written by students always make good examples. I want to use them as examples for my high school students to teach them = how to determine the credentials of web authors. They understand that an = elementary or middle school student author would not be acceptable as a = source for one of their papers. I am looking for sites that look very = good. Pages that seem to contain good information and might even include = an impressive bibliography - but when investigated, show that the page was = written by a young student. I will post a list of any examples that you share. Again - please do not = send any of the hoax sites. I have plenty of them. I need REAL sites = that LOOK good - but have questionable information and/or questionable = authorship. Thanks! Jacquie "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those that wander are lost" J.R.R.
