Using the Web to Introduce Research
I find that 201's Research
Depot is a good starting point for students. It covers the basics
of research and evaluation of internet sources and the material
applies to most any research-based class—not just 201.
Annotated Link List
The web is a great way for students to access information, but often
they don't stop to consider that some information out there is worthwhile
and some isn't at all. One way I try to force students to begin
research and to be accountable to quality research is to ask them
to produce an annotated list of links at the start of their research
process. This introduces them to their topic and gives them practice
with annotation. What's more it gives me a chance to introduce to
a discussion of how to evaluate internet sources and how to determine
the value of a source.
