Well here we are at the end! You have ONE website that stood all alone above the others as "Canada's Next Top Website". It was tough eliminating good websites every step of the way but now you have a VERY GOOD resource on the internet to help you understand your topic. You can share, recommend, bookmark and use this site forever now!

I hope you learned a lot about finding websites, evaluating websites, and selecting websites as possible resources. This is a very important skill to learn because there is SO MUCH information on the internet and A LOT of it is quite bad. You need to learn how to find the good information quickly and to not get stuck with bad information.

Your final task for this webquest is to submit your worksheet to your teacher. Fill it all out, make sure that you have all the canditates on the sheet and why they were eliminated. What step did you eliminate them at? Make sure to fill out the elimination table outlining how the competition unfolded.

Finally, below is a rubric of how you will be marked on this task. I want to thank you for participating and I hope you've learned a little bit about evaluating websites!

 

Thanks for coming!
