Flex : Evaluating Content of Web Sites
March 21, 2007 (Summary due via email by Midnight, Sunday, March 25, 2007)

This flex assignment will be on lighter side to allow for work time on your project. However, while perhaps shorter in length, the content is extremely valuable and should be thoughtfully processed. As we continue to incorporate the ever-growing resource of web content into our teaching, skills for evaluating that content will be and already are essential.

You have been asked to link to no more than 5 outside resources from your final project site.This means you need to be very selective in your choices. The University of California, Berkeley provides a guide for making such choices.

Evaluate
Each person in your group should evaluate one of the resources you are considering using Berkeley’s process.
