For this assignment, we were told to pick a website and evaluate its validity, credibility, etc. I chose "All About Explorers" and found it very nteresting. It is set up to teach students about validating websites and, in fact, has nothing at all to do with explorers. Most of the information in the bios is incorrect, but links to factual biographies are provided. In the "About this Site" section, the authors explain the purpose of the website and why it was created. This website is very interesting because although on the surface it seems to be everything students ever needed to know about explorers, it's really about them researching facts and checking things for reliability. Very sneaky, if you ask me! [But, I like it!]
If you'd like to check it out, too, please click here to visit the site.
