For me, the three most useful tools in reference to collecting reputable digital resources are the University of Maryland, Edutopia, and the Berkely site. Berkely and UMD are education sites and Edutopia is an organization dedicated to improving education in general.
Joe Barker (retired) and Cody Hennesy both subject experts at Berkely wrote and contributed to the evaluating websites page on Berkely's library website. University of Maryland the authors were subject experts associated with the University. The author of the Edutopia article is Julie Coiro,
Associate Professor of Education at the University of Rhode Island.

Students can be taught to safely collect tools and resources that can help them maximize their learning through lots of modeling and practice. Students could be required to use a checklist for evaluating information each and every time they conduct research such as the following:
- Does the site have the information I need?
- Who published the information and what is their level of knowledge on the subject?
- Why is this person/organization publishing the information?
- Does the site provide different viewpoints?
- Are there links to related sites and have sources been cited?
- Would anyone be offended by anything on this site?
