Recommendation:

While this site is simple, it covers the topic well with cartoon graphics that will appeal to students. Each question on the checklist is followed by a clear description of how to obtain information from a web site. An interactive quiz at the bottom of the checklist page offers a review. This knowledge will make students more adept at using the internet.

Description:

From the website: "The QUICK web site is a resource to help young people evaluate what they find on the Internet."

Possible uses:

A good introduction for students learning to utilize the internet as a research tool to use before a research project.
