Because of how easily the internet is accessed and how easily someone could put incorrect information up, it is important to give the children in your classroom a resource to evaluate the integrity of a website. Kathy Schrock provides several helpful tools for different age children including the following link to a source for elementary education:

This tool is an easy to use checklist for the children in your classroom. In simple yes or no questions it helps the children check for validity of the sight as well as usefulness for whatever goal they are trying to achieve. It's also written in easy-to-understand language for a child in elementary school. This is not to mention that it's supported by Discovery Education.
