What makes instructional materials found online good? I would have to say that in order to find a good and reliable source online you need to know your sources and the name behind it. When I look for sources online, I make sure to read what is written on the website, check to see if it is endorsed by any organization and compare their facts to those that I either know or have found elsewhere. If the website passes all of these stipulations I will utilize this website for my research. Some examples that I found are from the Merlot website.
http://www.diigo.com/user/taylormarasco/259?type=all has some of the examples that I found that are very reliable and have been edited to be as correct as possible. Knowing the source of your information is very important so you don't use things that aren't true, completely biased, or just wrong in general. I feel like sometimes it is easy to tell a fake website from one that really knows what it is talking about with the information they are providing. If I need to do a research project I would utilize these websites from my diigo account so that I know they are proper and full of information that is actually useful to me and what I am trying to research. I looked into speech-language-therapy dot com and it seemed to be a very helpful website. I figured that this was an interesting, informational and reliable source to use based on a few things. It had the credentials from HONcode which proves information to be true. Also, the information provided was relatable to facts I already have learned and information that is relevant.
