publications Students must learn to evaluate the reliability of information of the websites they visit Select two websites that provide information about a topic related to your curriculum Cite the URLs and names of both sites and explain which is more reliable using evaluation criteria www twopeguys com Twopeguys com has a copyright and is in PDF format However this website only has two editors This website could have biased opinions or information due to the low number of editors This website provides some games and equipment that can be used in physical education classes Twopeguys com has a profit motive In order for people to receive additional information regarding teach physical education they recommend you enroll in on e of their classes www pecentral org PE Central has a copyright multiple editors and is in PDF format PE Central is a org which also makes it a reliable website than com This site has multiple editors When there are multiple editors there is a better chance that the resources and information are unbiased because of the culturally diverse backgrounds Today s classrooms are comprised of various cultures and it is important to incorporate fitness activities and games from diverse cultures Access to the resources on this website are free PE Central has lesson plans and assessment tools I believe PE Central is more reliable 2 Research with Electronic References Since we live in the Information Age it is particularly important that teachers are able to access and evaluate information to prepare accurate up to date lessons and to teach their students the principles of electronic research In this activity you will examine a variety of electronic references in your quest to acquire information for lessons or other professional activities
