After doing some research on how to find the best internet sites for classroom purposes, I found that the same key points kept popping up.  The following6 points are what we should look for to determine if this is a quality website to use with our students.

1. Purpose

2. Appropriateness

3. Currency

4. Responsibility

5. Clarity

6. Accessibility

<strong>Purpose </strong>of the website is similar to author's intent, something we teach our students during reading instruction. Is the purpose of the site to sell something, propaganda, is it objective, is it personal, or is it pure entertainment?

<strong>Appropriateness </strong>is directly related to if the site relates to the content taught in the classroom. Does this reinforce something taught in the classroom, or supplement by showing a new perspective of something taught in the classroom?
