	Consider the Source... Anyone can publish something to the internet so it's important to consider several things when finding information online.

Every website used for Cyber Camp has been evaluated in the Teacher Resource section by the following rubric. If a website does not receive three feet an explanation is given. Note: This does not mean it is a poor or useless website. It may have a narrow focus or lots of pop-ups so be sure to read the explanation.
