Validating sources

When we look for information on the web, we must first assess its validity. The following links provide information on how to evaluate the reliability of a web site:


Take two statements from the Terra 2050 Videos and, using web search engines, try to assess their validity.
In order to do this, you must write a short document citing the sources used and the reasons why you arrive at a certain conclusion.
All assignments should include:
- Statement.
- Annotated links with a short discussion on how they tend to prove or disprove the statement.
- A brief analysis of the validity of each source.
- A conclusion that sums up the above.
The assignment must be done in pairs, and published on each team member's personal blog before the end of the lesson today.

Criteria for grading include:
- Clarity of presentation, including summarizing.
- Quality and depth of the analysis.
- Use of valid sources.
