Welcome to the sixth and final Six Weeks. We will focus on evaluating Internet resources and summarize the topics of the course.

First, READ the outstanding article that is posted in the Resources Notes.

EXPLORE the other resources related to the topic of evaluation of Internet resources.

POST a message with the title Resources Evaluation and include answers to the following questions:
 1.  What is the CARS checklist?  Explain.
 2.  How would you site this online resource using APA style?
 3.  Why is it important to evaluate websites?
 4.  How will you utilize the concept of evaluation of websites in your classroom?

Your assignment as a "final exam/synthesis" is to write at least one paragraph about each competency.  Self-evaluate your progress related to each competency.  Provide supporting details that indicate that you have, indeed, gained this competency at this, the end point, of the course.  DO NOT post this message to any folder. Email it directly to your instructor with the subject title Competency Summary.
