[CALIBK12] "Fake" Information Sites

[Millam, Joy]

I have a huge list on my wiki
http://booktalksandmore.pbwiki.com/Files-and-Documents 

You will find near the top, it is entitled Web Evaluation
Sites_rev08.htm 

My personal favorite is the Mankato, MN website.  That one is a gold
mine. My students absolutely love it.  We have a lot of fun and don't
forget to go to the Museum of Hoaxes website. www.museumofhoaxes.com I
have my students take the Hoax Photo Test (upper middle of the page--
there are 4 photo tests and the kids really learn about what is real and
what just looks real. It is a great exercise to introduce the concept
that not everything they see is real and to trust, then verify.

Subject: [CALIBK12] "Fake" Information Sites

I'm looking for websites that are intentionally "mis-informative," for
teaching high school students "authority" and internet research.
"Tass.net" was a good one, but has been pulled. I'm an English teacher
with an MLIS, and a one person band for teaching information literacy at
my high school.  This listserve has been such an invaluable resource!
