Creator Notes: First grade students will be guided through many sites by the teacher. This form is intended to be an introduction to evaluating web site information. Numbers were added to the chart because younger learners have trouble tracking without the help of an identifier such as a number. I used Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators to develop this page.
