Couldn't understand why people were posting the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association website until I took a walkabout:) The links provided are very helpful to a electronic novice as myself. It is very hard for students to understand that some websites are more credible than others. This site provides information that can be shared with student so that they develop the habit of visiting trustworthy sites.

Again, another great site that uses plain English for the less tech savy individuals like myself. The provided checklist would be a great handout for students. I would require them to complete the checklist for each source they were submitting.
*Could not get this link to open: Using the Web for Research. University of Guelph Library
Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Shame as it showed promise for helping students using the web for research papers.

What a great resource that I will be adding to my webpage. Has two great traits for me...easy to use and free!! Does the work for you but we still have the other sites to "Trust but verify"!

Seems that if you have an antivirus program, this site would not be necessary.

Another free search engine that few have heard of. Google is better but the name duckduckgo gets your attention.

From a counselor's perspective, the three most useful tools are:
http://www.onetonline.org/
This site provides counselors and their students invaluable information for career research. Especially helpful is the section on job growth as we have far too many students attending college for majors that do not offer marketable skills i.e. Women Studies, Philosophy, Psychology...
http://www.aie.org/finding-a-career/
Adventures in education is very useful for career guidance as well. This site allows students to build a career plan. Also offers relevant information on resume writing and interview skills that so many students lack.
https://secure.gacollege411.org/
If you live in Georgia, you know this site! However, I must admit that it is pretty good. Students can research colleges, careers, and even find scholarships that match their interest. The site also provides information on the HOPE scholarship, dual enrollment, and everything but the kitchen sink.
How can students be taught to safely collect tools and resources that can help them maximize their learning? What policies or procedures might need to be in place to make this possible?
Providing students with handouts such as "Evaluating Web Sites: A Checklist" provides a fool proof method for students to evaluate sites. If a website can stand up to the scrutiny of this check list, probably a pretty trustworthy site. Only by providing students with sites that the teacher trusts and modeling how to utilize the site can we be assured of student competence. All too often teachers assume that since kids are tech savvy, they know reputable sites...not the case! We must teach and model for them the appropriate method of evaluating sites.
